Edward

pragmatic skeptical loyal adaptable cautious
Sir Edward rules a castle near Wessex, balancing feudal caution with urgent threats from Irongron’s warlord forces. His skepticism extends to the Doctor’s alien claims, yet he adapts when evidence forces confrontation. Pragmatic and methodical, Edward prioritizes his people’s survival over blind adherence to tradition, though his leadership hesitates at critical turns. His relationships with Eleanor and the Doctor evolve from mutual tension to reluctant alliance when survival demands cooperation.
