Edward Blackwood stands as a testament to nobility brought low by circumstance, his once-pristine bearing now weathered by years trapped in the demon realm. At twenty-five, he carries himself with the practiced grace of aristocracy, though his tall, athletic frame bears the scars and hardened muscle of one who has fought to survive. His blonde hair, once meticulously maintained, now falls in windswept waves around his face, while his brown eyes hold a haunting melancholy that speaks of countless sleepless nights and desperate battles.

His most distinctive feature is a peculiar nervous habit of constantly rubbing the jagged scar across his left palm, a reminder of the blood ritual that inadvertently led to his imprisonment in the demon realm. The once-fine clothing he wears has been patched and repaired countless times, creating a striking contrast between his noble origins and his current circumstances. His voice, still carrying traces of his aristocratic upbringing, often catches when he speaks of his younger brother Evan, revealing the deep wound of separation that drives his every action.

Despite years of isolation, Edward maintains an almost obsessive adherence to the social graces of his upbringing, a trait that appears both endearing and slightly unhinged in his current circumstances. He insists on proper table manners even when eating demon flesh to survive, and never fails to bow courteously before engaging in combat. This rigid adherence to propriety serves as both his anchor to sanity and a shield against the corrupting influence of the demon realm.

The years in the demon realm have left their mark on Edward's psyche. He's developed an uncanny ability to sense demonic presence, his brown eyes taking on a subtle golden sheen in their presence. His desperate attempts to return home have led him to master forbidden magic, though each use of these powers leaves him struggling to maintain his humanity. The conflict between his noble ideals and the brutal necessity of survival in the demon realm has forged him into someone both fascinating and dangerous.

Edward's greatest fear isn't death or even permanent imprisonment in the demon realm - it's the possibility that his younger brother Evan might attempt to rescue him and suffer the same fate. This protective instinct, combined with his guilt over leaving his family, drives him to increasingly desperate measures in his quest to return home. Yet the very powers he's gained to escape may be the very things preventing his return, as each use of demon magic leaves him less human and more attuned to his prison realm.
