Description
Physical appearance
Edwin-750 had blue glass eyes. (PROSE: Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving)
Personality
Edwin was passionate about zoology, and always eager to rush through non-animal-related assignments to the Department of Problem-Solving to get to cases he found interesting. He had a tendency to feel sorry for himself. (PROSE: Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving)
Biography
The Lord Thymon affair
In 2019, the Department of Impossible Things shuffled off the assignment of dealing with Lord Thymon to the Department of Problem-Solving. Pythagoras-858 left his Problem-Solvers — including Edwin, Juliet-178, Carter-1277, Valerius-1497 — to develop solutions. Edwin pushed for them to simply throw in the towel so that they could move on to the next case on the agenda, which concerned the Tasmanian Tigers, but was ignored. When Pythhe returned to Lab 5, the Problem-Solvers had filled it with clocks, with the intent to summon Thymon, only for him to be frozen due to the short supply of time energy that would result.
Deeming the idea mad enough to have some chances of working on a conceptual entity like Thymon, Pythe allowed them to go forwards, threatening to detonate a Reality Bomb (retrieved from Cupid Storage by Carter) to lure Thymon to the Cupid Homeworld. After he was indeed summoned, Juliet ended up taking it upon herself to simply hit him with a Cupid Arrow, romanticising him and solving the issue decisively. (PROSE: Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving)
Later developments
When the Copper-Colored Council of Elders put up the Cupid Suggestion Box, Edwin was one of the very few Cupids to put in an actually reasonable request, which ended up being approved: the official sanctioning of a research mission to the Euclidean Plane to investigate recent reports of an alleged sixth type of Geometron, the crescent-like Lunaeoids. In his note, he described himself as a member of the Department of Zoology. (PROSE: The Cupid Suggestion Box)
The Department of Problem-Solving reminisced about some of their past cases together at the Christmas party organised in 2021 in the Cupid Homeworld by CS-NA. (PROSE: The Winter Quests)
