Edmund

Edmund was the first Echidna to assume the role of Guardian and the first to bear the white crescent birth mark on his chest, which was passed down through his family line to distinguish them as Guardians. Initially a scientist along with his brother Dimitri, Edmund was involved in the creation of the original Chaos Syphon. However, when civil war broke out between the Angel Island Echidnas over the dispute of abandoning technology, Edmund was called upon to act as the first Guardian of the citizens of Echidnaopolis and the Chaos Emeralds. In addition to being the first Guardian, Edmund was the first to be killed in the line of duty.

Personality
While alive, was an intellectual. Skilled in the field of politics, he felt that subterfuge was the best course of action to accomplish his goals. While he was deeply dedicated to his duties as a Guardian, family was infinitely important to him. As a result of being a scientist as opposed to a skilled fighter, Edmund was an easy target for the Dark Legionnaires who killed him. (KtE: #25)
