Character History

Orientation

Edgar attends Joseph Sullivan's funeral. Later, at the Sullivan Bros. Carnival, Samuel Sullivan tells him to retrieve the compass. Edgar is reluctant to do so, saying he's seeking redemption. However, Samuel threatens Edgar using his terrakinesis. Edgar yields and Samuel promises it'll be the last time he asks. Edgar goes to New York City and attacks Danko, cutting open his stomach to get at a safety deposit key. Tracy interrupts him before he can recover the key. His knives prove useless against her water form, and she freezes his arm, disarms him, and he flees.

Jump, Push, Fall

Edgar watches the New York Federal Bank where he knows Danko has hidden the compass in a safety deposit box. When Noah Bennet and Peter Petrelli go there to use the key and recover the compass, Edgar badly injures the bank manager and enters the security room. Peter manages to touch him and mimic his ability. Edgar attempts to kill Noah with a thrown knife but Peter grabs it and the two fight. Peter proves the superior fighter and Edgar is forced to flee. However, he attacks Noah later, badly wounding him, and takes the compass. He then returns to the carnival to report to Samuel Sullivan that he failed at first because of an empath, but didn't have time to talk to Peter. Edgar then asks about "the Chinese guy" who will be replacing Arnold.

Graphic Novel:Stolen Fate

Fourteen years ago, Edgar shares a drink with Lydia at the Sullivan Bros. Carnival. She thanks Edgar for making her smile again and this makes Edgar happpy. The two friends decide to play tricks on the mean fortune teller. They find her telling a young Hiro Nakamura of his destiny before Edgar steals the crystal ball. Lydia and Edgar go on the Ferris wheel and both look into the ball, seeing what they most desire. Later, Samuel is angry at Edgar and slaps him when he calls the fortune teller an old hag, worrying what Joseph would think if he could hear him. Edgar then leaves Lydia to ponder on what she saw.

Graphic Novel:Running in Circles

Edgar remembers attending a soccer game in Bradford as a child with his father where a tragic fire erupts. His father tells Edgar to run as fast as he could from the stadium, which he does, leaving his family behind to die.

Edgar also remembers practicing for his knife show with Lydia, and impressed that she trusts him so much.

In the present, Edgar watches Peter and Noah holding his sought-after compass in front of the hospital. He tracks down Noah, slashes him with his knife, and takes the compass. Edgar then goes to 183 Prospect, and retrieves a package with a Sprint phone for Lydia.

Webisode:Slow Burn

Part 1

Edgar arrives at Lydia's trailer and hands her a Sprint phone. He tells her of the dangers of possessing a phone while living in the carnival until Lydia reveals that she has a daughter. Edgar listens to Lydia's story and then assures her that everything is okay. Lydia shows Edgar a tattoo of her daughter surrounded by fire and tells him that she can feel something is wrong. Edgar leaves Lydia to call her daughter.

Part 2

Edgar is attempting to practice his knife throwing skills when Samuel approaches him. Samuel asks Edgar if he has noticed anything wrong with Lydia. Edgar says he hasn't and then tells Samuel that she hasn't said a word to him. Samuel theorizes that Edgar isn't satisfying Lyida and then tells him that both Lydia and Edgar can make their own mistakes. As Samuel leaves, Edgar resumes throwing knives.

Acceptance

Edgar speaks with Lydia about his concerns over their new family members. Edgar tells Lydia that if Joseph were alive they wouldn't be introducing so many new people to the carnival. Samuel arrives and tells the two of them that it is time to add more members to their family, much to Edgar's disapproval.
