Edward Mortemer

Edward, a character from the Distant Shores series, is the captain of the Revenge crew and one of your love interests. He is first seen in Chapter 1.

Appearance
It is up to the player what Edward looks like. But his outfit consists of a red shirt with a dark blue and yellow leather jacket with a belt around his waist. He wears a strap over his left shoulder, holding his sword and wears a silver necklace.

Personality
As the captain, Edward's loyal to his crew and cares a lot for his crew members. He is extremely dedicated to his work as a captain, to the point that if you say you believe he kissed a mermaid during Two Lies and a Truth, Charlie teases him by saying he'd be more likely to ask a mermaid for advice on ocean currents than a kiss. However, he also has a sense of humor: In a diamond scene in Chapter 1, he tells your character that he likes to annoy Robert.

Despite being a pirate, he is a fair and honorable person. He insists that you be treated fairly by the crew until your trial and compensates the people of Tiburon for use of their port by sharing the crew's plunder with them. If you ask him why he compensates the village in a premium scene in Chapter 3, he explains that many members of his crew don't have somewhere they can expect to be welcomed with friendship, and he wants that for the members of his crew. If you ask him what he wants most in life, he says that he wants justice and he won't allow himself to have other, more personal goals until justice has been served.

In Chapter 4, several crew members tell you, that Edward's invested in getting revenge against the admiral.

In Chapter 5, during a premium scene, it is revealed that Edward likes to read, if he finds the time.

Background
If you choose to take the diamond scene in Chapter 1, Edward tells you he was not always a pirate and turned to the sea because he was searching for something. He once followed the law proudly, before he realized how many people suffered under its rule. He'd rather be a free man in a dangerous profession than a safe fool oblivious to the harm he causes.

In Chapter 2 is revealed that Edward and Robert once had their own crew. But then an enemy of both Edward and Robert sunk Robert's ship and so they made common cause. At a drinking game, Edward tells you and the crew that he once bent his knee to the Queen of England and that she gave him her blessing.

Your Character
Edward is one of your love interests. Immediately after you are sent backwards to the past, he protects you in the battle with the British Navy and brings you aboard Poseidon's Revenge. While you await trial, he insists that the crew treat you well, making sure to protect you from Robert's bullying and suspicion. In Chapter 3, Edward realizes something is wrong with your character due to his/her accent, which he cannot place. If you decide to tell him the truth about where you're coming from, though he tries to believe you, he finds it hard to believe and tells you, you have a vivid imagination. When you show him picture's from your phone, he believes it's wichcraft and can't tell, if you're drunk or mad. When you tell him about Robert's plotting against him, he makes you promise to not tell anyone about this and thanks you. In Chapter 4, Edward bows to you and thanks you, if you warned him about the mutiny before.

Robert
Robert was originally the captain of his own ship before his crew merged with Edward's and he became first mate of the Revenge. He resents Edward and his loss of power, and as of Chapter 2 is planning a mutiny against Edward.

Admiral Cochrane
The admiral and Edward have a history together, reaching as recently as just a few months before you came aboard. If you try to ask him more about their relationship, he is evasive and doesn't tell you anything.

In Chapter 5, if you decide to talk with him, he tells you that Cochcrane is an evil man and that he would protect the whole world from him if he could. Edward intends to be his justice.

Charlie Smith
Charlie stays loyal to Edward, even as Robert starts the mutiny against Edward. She tells you, that she doesn't always know what's going on in Edward's head, but even with all his moods, she knows his heart and trusts him.
