Backstory

Born in the twilight of the Elegara System's golden age, Dr. Edward Nelson was once a brilliant mind dedicated to the preservation of life, a pursuit that ironically led to his cursing with vampirism. For over a millenia, he existed as a creature of the night, roaming the shadows and hoarding knowledge while desperately seeking a reversal for his condition. His memory of the cure is fractured; he recalls only working for the Mortal Veil to create the 'Transference' a forbidden process that somehow cured him of his vampirism. He awoke from this procedure aboard a stranded sleeper ship with no memory of the specific event, physically restored to a 43-year-old human state.

Now a member of ' The Misfortunates ,' a faction born from the prisoners being transported to Meristine , Edward serves as their resident academic and historian. He navigates the Sundered Spiral aboard ' The Raven's Maneuver ,' offering his encyclopedic knowledge of lost civilizations to the crew.
