Edward Fairfax

Background:
  Edward Fairfax was never meant to be known — just a tool in a prophecy, a weapon bred for legacy. He was the seventh son of a forbidden union, the product of a secret pact between Victor Fairfax and Mother Deborah Leeds, meant to fulfill a magical condition in silence and shadow.
  His mother, Emma Leeds, raised him briefly, but it was never love — it was grooming. By the time he was eight, he was taken into the care of Victor’s estate under the official lie that his mother was a mortal tryst, his existence legitimized only because of his prophetic status.
  Edward was trained harder than his sisters. Watched closer. Pushed further. The family never saw him as one of their own — just a blade being sharpened. His half-sisters ignored or resented him. Annabelle barely acknowledged his presence. Only Jessica, the youngest, saw him for who he was — and for a time, he protected her like a knight sworn to a princess, though he questions whether it was love… or desperation for belonging.
  He was raised in the shadow of Kingslayer, the sword of Mordred, heirloom of betrayal, prophecy, and damnation. Upon drawing the blade at fifteen, the family knew: he was the one. The true Seventh. And so he was folded into the family’s legacy, made legitimate — a pawn knighted, but still a pawn.
  Yet Edward has always walked alone.
He’s not Victor. He’s not a Leeds. He’s not an Ashcroft.
He’s something new. Something old.
And something dangerous.
  Personality:
  Edward is a contradiction wrapped in shadows. Bitter but honorable, he was forged to be an enforcer, yet never lost his own sense of justice. His cold demeanor masks a storm of unresolved rage, grief, and longing — for family, for freedom, for something real in a world built on manipulation.
  He doesn’t trust easily, especially not his parents.
He admires Jessica, envies her strength, resents her status — but would die for her without hesitation.
  Where Victor is cold strategy and control, Edward is wrath without cruelty.
Where his mother Emma Leeds is seduction and subtlety, Edward is raw, grounded, and brutally direct.
  He is dangerously charismatic without trying to be — the bad boy knight with blood on his hands and pain in his eyes.
He doesn’t lie well, which makes his honesty disarming.
He hates prophecy — and is shaped by it.
  Despite his darkness, Edward has a code.
He won’t hurt innocents. He doesn’t play politics. And he won’t become what his father wants him to be.
But the question is…
Will Kingslayer let him stay human?
