Biography

Background

Not much is known about Ed's background, although in Unconditional Love it is discovered that Ed has a younger brother named Roy. However, he views his younger brother as a screw up - yet in The Other Lane he tells Roy that he is proud of him. For Ed and his wife, Sophie - things haven't always been the smoothest of rides, especially due to Ed's job. Despite their problems, the two have been married for fifteen years and have two children together - Clark and Isabel. While in earlier episodes he appears more attached to his SRU teammates than his family, recent events have changed that, and he has become a dutiful family man as well as a strong teammate.
