Biography[]
Background[]
Edmund is a profoundly disturbed individual who took to murdering victims in elaborate and vicious ways. His favored method was to tie a victim's torso up and leave written messages nearby the crime scenes. He'd also nail their decapitated heads and leave behind torn pieces of a map inside them. Three such bodies were found in this manner and the pieces, once combined, revealed the location to Edmund's hideout: a basement beneath Lucky's Cabin, located southwest of Valentine. The back of the completed map contained a message, written in blood, which reads: "Can you find me?"
Red Dead Redemption II[]
After solving the serial killer's clues, the protagonist rides to the cabin illustrated on the map. Once there, they enter the basement to investigate, and finds many mutilated bodies as well as a letter from Edmund's mother, which reveals his troubled mind and her concerns. The letter is also what first tips players off to his true identity.
Edmund then ambushes the player, knocking them out. As the protagonist struggles to regain consciousness, Edmund taunts them all the while and vows to inflict upon them a tortuous death. He then brandishes a knife, preparing to kill them, but is taken off-guard when the player throws a severed head which hits him, staggering him and allowing the player to overpower him. He is then hogtied and taken to the sheriff's office at Valentine to be locked up, where he reveals his full name and warns the player to remember it. When he is promptly taken away by the sheriff, he goes into a frenzy and attacks Sheriff Malloy in an attempt to kill him, only to be shot dead by the sheriff or the player in the resulting chaos.
