"Greetings. I am Edwin Odesseiron. You simians may merely refer to me as 'Sir,' if you prefer a less... syllable-intensive workout."

When asked about his past, Edwin sneers that he has no intention of revealing such information and that it is none of your business. He further states that you are lucky enough to simply share his company, and then mutters something about leaving whenever he wishes.

He obviously cares little for the camaraderie of others, and seems to take more pleasure in speaking to himself than in interacting with the party. His attire brazenly displays the colors of the Red Wizards of Thay, though Edwin does not seem forthcoming with any information.

----------------------------------------

Even when in the middle of a conversation, Edwin takes time out to tell himself something or to insult the people he's talking to (As if they couldn't hear him). He's a Red Wizard. Most everyone in this organization are black hearted power mongers, and Edwin is no exception. He is also tattooed in the manner of the Red Wizards and has a Slavic accent. Despite the notorious reputation of that group, he wears Red Wizard robes proudly.

He is also himself under the impression that he is an exceptional genius, and his behavior often seems less than smart, or at least less than wise. He is extremely sarcastic and constantly refers to other people as "monkeys" or “simians” or by some near-synonym, often when speaking to himself in brackets. Oddly, he seems unaware that others can hear him when he talks to himself.

In Baldur’s Gate Edwin is out to murder his rival, a Witch named Dynaheir, and if you encounter him before you meet her, he will try to hire you to kill her for him. If he is in your party when she is found, he will go hostile if you refuse to kill her, but if you recruit her separately and then talk to him, he will want to join your group in order to keep an eye on her. He'll exclaim in joy 'Checkmate!' if she dies.

In Baldur's Gate II he can be found working for the Shadow Thieves, but his agenda is still very much his own, and he is busily hunting for the previously mentioned Nether Scroll - it is later revealed that he is on the run from Thay for not fulfilling his obligations to the Red Wizards. Although many people rise up to fill mantles of great destiny around him, he remains the same power hungry wizard as he always was. This greatly upsets him in some of the inter-character conversations. He despises those he regards as inferior to him (which is everybody) and is deeply envious of those who clearly are not - he makes a number of references to Elminster and how he is going to beat him one day, and clearly hates the better known wizard.
