MBTI Type: ISTJ

Edwin is not a fan of change, and prefers for things to be predictable and familiar. He is very attentive to his environment, but also carries around a lot of baggage from his past. He still acts and talks like it’s the early 1900s, despite having lived a hundred years as a ghost. Edwin is meticulous, but also detailed in his pursuit of information. He prefers to stay close to his books, but is not above doing the leg-work to solve crimes. His experiences in hell haunt him, and make him determined not to return there. Edwin likes to decide whether or not to take cases based on what they “do” for him – he wants some kind of a return or payment for his time and efforts, and has no trouble turning down cases that do not interest him. He is quite frank with everyone he meets, which can ruffle emotions here and there, while being out of touch with admitting to his own feelings. He figures out how he feels about Charles and admits it, hurting someone else in the process (which he then feels bad about, since he tries to be a good person). In hell, he meets one of his abusers who offered him up as a sacrifice to a demon, and even though he is suffering enormously at the time (being torn apart again and again), and upon seeing his torment, Edwin forgives him and invites him to leave with him. He has inferior Ne. Edwin doesn’t like to think outside the box too much, and relies on books to give him his best ideas. He does not warm up to new experiences easily, until he finds his footing.

Enneagram: 6w5

Edwin is cautious and bookish, but also has a warm and generous side. He meets and befriends Charles, and though he knows Charles is dying of hypothermia, he does not tell him that seeing a ghost means you are doomed. Instead, he talks to, and helps him feel safe, until he crosses over. After that, he becomes fiercely loyal to Charles, and wants to spare him from being taken by Death. He is methodical and cautious, not wanting to trust others without being suspicious of their motives, and sometimes, he struggles to know what his own emotions are, without thinking about them first. Edwin believes the solutions to most problems lie in books, and knows a tremendous amount about the things that interest him (ghost lore, monsters, demons, etc). He is also cautious and does not like to take risks, often thinking they need to act as one. Edwin is shocked when Charles comes into hell to rescue him, since he doesn’t assume anyone would care about him that much, to risk their own life on his behalf.
