Edmund (P.X.E.)

Edmund is the Guardian of Onyx Island and is Silver's mentor.

Appearance
Edmund is a red echidna with purple eyes. He wears a green pancho, white gloves that are similar to Knuckles', and sandals. He has large powers of Chaos Energy that he can use at anytime.

Taking the Guardian Role
Edmund gave Silver access to his personal library, which detailed much of Mobius's history. Silver was able to identify a new suspect and traveled back in time to eliminate him. After returning to the future (present to them), Silver was confronted by the aged guardian, who, due to temporal changes caused by Silver's time traveling, didn't immediately recognize him. Once the effects settled Edmund recalled the hedgehog quite well, asking how much had changed; he pointed out the crashed remains of a burning ARK in the distance, as well as the remains of the Great Kridzu Spore, complimenting the hedgehog on his impressive defeat of it in the new timeline. On the flip-side, he showed some disapproval of Silver's Master, referring to him as a "sad sack of lies" and making it clear that he was uneasy about Silver being instructed by this being. When Silver left to return to his Master, Edmund told him he was always welcome on the island, afterward remarking that this "failed Guardian" might be able to teach the time traveler something one day.

Meeting A New Friend
While investigating something strange on Onyx Island, Silver found himself under attack by a mysterious being and was saved from ambush by Edmund, who helped subdue the attacker by stunning him with a well-placed Thunder Arrow. While the aged Echidna initially berated Silver for "rough-housing" and further destroying the remains of Portal,  he eventually exhausted himself from getting so excited and demanded Silver for an explanation. After hearing the young hedgehog's story, Edmund observed the unconscious attacker and said that while he didn't know what was going on, the being somehow reminded him of his father. Despite Silver's attempts to jog anything useful out of the old Guardian's memory by describing what his attacker had been capable of, Edmund merely disregarded them with references of stories from his mother's and grandfather's times. When the being recovered and retaliated, Edmund was saved from being crushed by Silver lifting him out of harm's way with his psychokinesis. After it escaped through a self-generated portal, Edmund urged Silver to follow after, saying he had a bad feeling about the situation and that only Silver was able to do anything about it. Advising him to use the Time Stone to find his way back home, the old Echidna cautioned Silver to use his head wherever he ended up and watched as he departed. Though he wished he could go with Silver, Edmund was certain his young friend could take care of himself and turned to leave, only to be startled as Silver suddenly reappeared in front of him. When Silver asked him, Edmund confirmed he recognized him as Silver had left just a second ago,and told Silver he was available to teach him more the following day as the hedgehog explained his journey made him realize other worlds were counting on him too.

Helping Track the Traitor
After Silver's failed attempts to track the traitor of the present-day Mobius Freedom Fighters, Edmund decided to help Silver track the traitor, but the echidna has doubts about the traitor. One day, though, Silver managed to find a hidden library and found Antoine's diary. Silver then traveled back in time to find the traitor, but was proven false by Sonic at present-day New Mobotropolis. (StH #235)
