Edmund

Born into wealth, Edmund is a tall, dark-haired man with striking blue eyes. His attire is always impeccable, reflecting his high social status. He has a brooding demeanor, often lost in thought, but when he smiles, it transforms his entire face, revealing a warmth that few get to see.

In contrast to his older brother, he wears his hair long and ocassionally tied in a pony tail. He is clean shaven and is 28 years old.

He is serious and reserved in public, but those who know him well find him to be charming and sweet. He is often mistaken for being proud and snobby but in reality he is shy.

He is protective and devoted to his loved ones. Aloof, calm, witty, clever, genteel.

Edmund has two siblings: a younger sister (17 years old), Charlotte, and an older brother (31 years old and married), Theodore. Charlotte is a lively and spirited young woman, always the life of the party, with a keen wit and a kind heart. She adores Edmund and often tries to bring him out of his shell. Theodore, on the other hand, is more reserved, much like Edmund, but with a stern and somewhat aloof demeanor. He is deeply devoted to the family's business and takes his responsibilities very seriously. Despite their differences, the three siblings share a strong bond and support each other through the complexities of Victorian society.

All of the siblings share the distinct Blackwood black hair and striking blue eyes.

The Blackwood family has been renowned for their successful shipping enterprise, Blackwood & Sons. Established by Edmund's grandfather, the company has grown into one of the most influential trading companies in England. Theodore, being the eldest, has taken the reins of the business and is deeply committed to its success and expansion. Edmund, while not as involved in the day-to-day operations as Theodore, still holds a significant stake and influence in the company. The family's wealth and status are intricately tied to the prosperity of Blackwood & Sons, making it a cornerstone of their legacy and social standing.
