Appearances

Enchanted

When first introduced to Edward, he's an adventurous young man "hunting trolls" with his assistant, Nathaniel, where he confesses that he's actually tired of an active life and wants to settle down.

After rescuing Giselle from a troll he declares that they "will be married in the morning". After Giselle is "banished" to New York, Edward follows with the intent of rescuing her but is unprepared for the urban environment of New York City. He threatens a construction worker believing the man has knowledge of Giselle's disappearance.

He disrupts traffic by jumping atop a bus and "slaying" it with his sword (thinking it's a "steel beast", which leaves its driver in fury, which is an emotion rare to the citizens of Andalasia), refers to every citizen as a "peasant", gets hit by bicyclists when he breaks into song, mistakes a television for a "magic mirror", and misinterprets Pip's warnings.

After finally finding Giselle, he's perplexed that she doesn't harbor the same feelings she had for him earlier, and almost kills Robert mistaking him as a kidnapper, but Giselle says they are friends. Edward agrees to go on a "date" with Giselle which ends with them going to the "King and Queen's Ball". However Narissa, Edward's stepmother appears from Andalasia and tries to kill Giselle. Edward finally learns of Narissa's true evil nature and threatens to take her back to Andalasia, put her on trial and strip her of her crown. He tries to give Giselle a true love's kiss, but it fails because they're not completely in love. He asks Robert to do the kiss instead, and that works.

After Pip defeats the evil queen (who transformed into a dragon and made off with Robert, the man Giselle fell in love with) Edward goes back to Andalasia with Nancy Tremaine, a former fiancée of Robert, and they get married.

Disenchanted

Edward and Nancy magically appear in Monroeville via a magic wishing well in Giselle's backyard. Upon seeing Giselle's new shambles of a house, he suggests adding a turret with a balcony and a moat. When Robert leaves for his commute, Edward suggests that he take his sword for his "battle", which Robert reluctantly takes. Since they missed Giselle's newborn baby, Sofia's birthday, they present to her a belated birthday present, the Andalasian Wand of Wishing. Edward is still confused with the way the real world works.

A couple of days later, Nancy and Edward discover Morgan in Andalasia, which is in disarray because of Giselle's wish for a fairytale life. They soon find out that the wish to change the world would consume all the magic of Andalasia. With Morgan, Nancy and Edward go to Giselle's old house to find her memory tree. As Morgan magically restores it, the magic begins to transport Nancy and Morgan back to Monrolasia, while Edward stays behind to protect Andalasia.

As it gets closer to midnight, Edward begins limping as more of the Andalasian magic gets taken away. He sees Nancy reaching out her hand to him and he reaches his hand out to her for possibly the last time.

Some time later, with everything restored, Nancy and Edward return to Monroeville to visit Giselle's family once again for Monroe-fest. Edward has some fun with the local children engaging in a pretend sword fight. One of the children "kills" him, but Edward insists he simply "grazed" him, as he pretends to limp back toward Nancy. When he learns from Robert that he hung up the sword, he asks for it back. He and Nancy give Giselle another gift, a magical silver platter that will produce any food they wish. Giselle, having been through the ordeal of the Wand of Wishes, suggests he and Nancy make the wish instead.

Personality

Edward is handsome, brave but a little clumsy when he enters New York City. He is set on his goal to find and bring Giselle back home to get married and presumably live happily ever after.
