Background
Edward came to Los Santos in search of his best friend Michael Weber who has been missing since April of 2019. He loves to be of service and will treat everyone with respect and is generally nice to everyone he meets.

Edward started out as a Taxi driver after filing a missing persons report for Michael Weber with PD. PD found out that Michael had been killed about a week prior to Edwards arrival in Los Santos. Someone cut off both of his arms and face and dumped the body in front of Pillbox with an ID card coming back to Bobby Goodman. Two weeks later PD reached out and told Edward that they would stop investigating his friends disappearance Edward decided to take the investigation into his own hands. To do that he had to become friends with the worst of the worst and gain their trust. He spent weeks trying to establish just the smallest criminal connections.

Joining the Misfits
One day Edward had been kidnapped for a Paleto Bank robbery by a Group that called themselves the Misfits. Somehow this Heist Crew was different than any other Group Edward had ever encountered before. They treated him good and eventually brought him back to where they took him from after Police did not respond to the robbery. Edward wanted to know more about them and started asking different people in Los Santos if they ever heard of the Misfits but no one knew anything.

Edward also started asking about the Misfits on twatter to see if could shake something loose but that also led to nothing. He eventually called Gladys Berry as she was the person that he knew with the most connections and experience. Gladys told Edward that she knew how to contact the Misfits but they were very bad people and he should make sure that he really wants to meet them again.

Edward told Gladys that he had a business proposal for them and would love to speak with at least one of them. While waiting for Gladys to call back Edward wandered the streets of Los Santos thinking he was about to die. A couple hours later Gladys called him back and told him to meet at the baseball field by Forum Drive.

Edward met with Gladys where she revealed that she was a Member of the Misfits and was intrigued by his proposal. Edward told Gladys that he had started using his gun license to buy a pistol every day and that his storage space was running low. He offered to sell 15 Combat Pistols and 5 Tasers to Gladys with more to come in the future and Gladys agreed.

A couple weeks later Edward told Gladys that he was interested in joining the Misfits and Gladys took Edward to an abandoned Warehouse where they met with Buck Colton. In a short conversation Gladys and Buck welcomed Edward into the Misfits with a meeting with the last founding Member sometime later.

Learning about Michael Weber's Killer
During the conversation with Gladys and Buck, Edward talked about his past and his search for his friend Michael Weber. Upon showing Gladys and Buck the final text message he had received from Michael. The text message entailed that Michael had been kidnapped but had gotten away from his kidnapper. A brief summary of what had happened during the kidnapping was also a part of that text. Buck recognized the person that was described as Ricky Robins.

Now Edward knew that Ricky was most likely Michael Weber's killer. He also learned that Ricky was a member of the Leanbois and most likely untouchable for the time being. Edward never acted upon that knowledge and has never seen Ricky in person.

Departure from the Misfits
On January 13, 2020, OTT invited him to the Misfits Mansion and officially kicked Edward out of the Misfits due to being inactive in the gang's activities and no longer having use for him. They parted on good terms, as the decision was mutual and the best for each of them. He also remains friends with fellow former Misfits member Doug Canada.

Joining Steele Security
Ed was approached by Jordan Steele and subsequently joined Steele Security as a security guard, working for the security firm up until he became a Department of Corrections officer.
