[edit] History
[edit] As Charles Dexter
Edward was originally Charles Dexter, a notorious serial killer who murder nine women on an Earth colony. He earned the epitaph the "Black Rose Killer" due to a black rose he left with each of his victims. In 2251 he was caught, tried, found guilty, and sentenced to the death of personality via mindwipe. After the mindwipe had occurred, however, there was a fire at the facility. He was presumed killed, but had actually survived with a basic set of memories and a personality programmed to serve.
[edit] As Brother Edward
Now Edward, he ended up in New Mallory, applying for a position with a Catholic religious order run by Brother Theo. He was accepted, and spent the next eight years serving the order with exemplary service, developing a deep personal faith in Christianity. When Theo decided to take the order to Babylon 5 to continue their work, Edward went with him. He befriended Cpt. John Sheridan and Lt. Cmdr. Susan Ivanova. In addition to his regular duties, he was a minor sculptor.
Unfortunately, Charles' life caught up with Edwards'. Family members of the victims tracked him down, and using various means (including a Centauri telepath) they forced him to remember parts of his former life. Despite Theo's urging to leave the matter buried, Edward investigated and learned the truth. Badly shaken by what he had learned, he briefly meets with Theo before hiding away to await what he knows is coming. The leader of the survivors tortures Edward, leaving him mortally injured and strung up cruciform in Downbelow. Theo and station security found him. Edward said he could accept what had happened, and said he could forgive the ones who did it to him. Theo administered the Last Rites and Edward passed away. [1]
