### Status

Deceased

**Edward Justus Moonglow** was a minor character in "MLIV:TO".

As the oldest child of the family, he was appointed as the family's second main provider. At a young age, he was taught how to do many tasks and has taken a liking to others, leading him to becoming a man of many talents.

He was the oldest (and only) child of Marlon Moonglow and a woman with whom he had an affair before meeting Lydia Moonglow, as well as the older brother of Aurelia Moonglow and Isabella Moonglow.

## Personality

Edward is a serious young man who, unlike his younger siblings, takes the jobs that he is given very seriously, no matter if they are big or small.

Despite the fact that he is a local hero, both in his family and his father's region, he takes no pride in what he does and hates when people brag about how strong or popular they are. He thinks that one's pride is a weapon with two blades and that it could be turned toward them at any time, potentially causing their own downfall.

Despite the fact that he is always serious when doing work, Edward is shown to be a rather carefree individual when he is with his loved ones, respecting his sisters's wishes to take a break from time to time and enjoys spending time performing his favorite activities.

## Death

### Killed By

* Jacob Quade *(Alive)*

While attempting to warn his younger sister about a new threat, Edward and Isabella encounter a lone Jacob Quade. They think that he is friendly, but are surprised when he pulls out a weapon and attacks both of them.

As Jacob attempts to stab Isabella, Edward stands in his way and gets stabbed instead. He persuades his sister to run and continue to task on her own as Jacob continues to stab him.

Soon, he has taken too much damage. His body is not able to sustain it. He falls to the ground and perishes very quickly, reanimating soon after Jacob is captured.

* Kaiden Kaos *(Caused, Undead)*

Curious about what happened out in the outskirts of Silverdale, Geralt leaves the same premises of the capital and, joined by his brother, arrives at the site where Edward was killed.

There, he finds the undead Edward and attempts to put him down. However, even in his his undead form, the hero is very powerful and Kaiden has to step in to prevent his brother from getting bitten.

Using his sword, Kaiden manages to pin him to a rock, preventing the undead from moving anywhere else and allowing Geralt to finish him off.

* Geralt Kaos *(Undead)*

Saddened by the death of a good friend and loyal companion, Geralt is forced to end his life and put him to rest. He draws his weapon and stabs the unfortunate Edward in the head, allowing his soul to soar up to Heaven, at long last.
