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.

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.
