Bio

Edward (Gilbert von Muir)

Age: 24
Class: Bard
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 134 lbs

About (No Spoilers)

     Simply put, Edward is a freaking coward and a wimp.  He is the known Bard of the Kingdom of Damcyan and he’s a talented harp player since he is a Bard after all.  Edward joins Cecil’s cause after the castle of Damcyan is bombed and he helps Cecil to cure Rosa’s serious fever as well.  He’s not a great fighter though and he tends to hide in battle when he is weak.

Major Relations

     Edward doesn’t have too many friends in the game but he does manage to deeply care about Anna, who is the daughter of Tellah.  Edward knows the people of Damcyan well as he does hail from that Kingdom and along the way, he does help out the party but even still, he doesn’t have any major friends in this game other than Anna, whom he deeply cares about and loves at the same time too.

Character Developments (Spoilers)

     Edward is a soft-spoken, caring Bard who is cowardly and tends to hide during tough battles.  However, after the bombing of the castle of Damcyan, Anna, who Edward deeply cares about and who is also Tellah’s daughter, gets seriously injured and she dies shortly afterwards.  Edward mourns her death but then he decides to help Cecil find the “Sand Ruby” to help cure Rosa’s high fever.  From this point on, Edward joins Cecil’s quest and eventually uses his Bard skills to help Cecil during a time in need later on in the game.  He’s more of the shy and cowardly type guy though and he’s not a very useful character to use in battle for the most part.

Review

     Edward does have some special commands in battle such as “Hide”, “Sing”, etc.  When Edward’s HP is low, he can automatically hide but you can choose to make him show up in battle again.  However, like the freaking coward and wuss that he is, Edward just hides away again!  Anyways, with the Sing command, he attempts to inflict the enemy with a random status effect, although it doesn’t always work.  He has a couple of other commands that are partially useful but they shouldn’t be really worth using that much though.  To me, Edward is pretty much a useless character and he only plays a short and minor role in the game so he isn’t that important.  He is known to be a coward and has extreme trouble in challenging his fear in battle and he is more of a kind and caring type of person.


Weapons/Armor/Accessories

     Edward can use harps to attack enemies as well as some other weapons and he can also equip lighter armor as well.  However, he is not very useful in battle but he can inflict status ailments on enemies if successful.  But, you really shouldn’t expect too much out of him as he likes to hide in battle frequently though.
