'''Edmund Marwood''', affectionately known as Eddie to his friends and patrons, was born in 612 in the quaint village of Pine Ridge, Seathenia. Eddie was the son of a local farmer and a schoolteacher, which instilled in him a profound appreciation for community, diligence, and service from an early age. He was educated at the local school before pursuing business studies at South Graz Community College.
After accumulating years of experience as a logistics manager for the North Kodiak Supply Co., Eddie felt a strong calling to return to his roots. In 640, he established the first Marwood's Mercantile, a rural general store aimed at serving the varied needs of his community. The store quickly earned a reputation for its quality products, friendly customer service, and, most notably, Eddie's warm and inviting presence.
Recognizing the unique challenges faced by rural communities, Eddie became a staunch advocate for their development and prosperity. In 650, he founded the Seathenia Rural Development Fund, a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing infrastructure, education, and healthcare in isolated areas. His commitment to fostering rural growth has made him an indefatigable champion for small businesses and sustainable economic practices.
In 660, the people of Pine Ridge District elected Eddie as their representative in Rykkburgh, trusting in his vision and dedication to represent their interests and sustain their way of life amidst the tides of change. He is particularly focused on bridging the divide between urban and rural communities, ensuring that his constituents benefit from technological and social advancements without losing their cherished rural identity.
In his personal life, Eddie is a keen gardener and a mentor to aspiring young business owners. He is married with three children and is locally famous for his homemade jams and the lively community gatherings he hosts. Eddie's pragmatic approach, coupled with his steadfast commitment to his community, has earned him deep respect and affection across Seathenia.
He was assassinated by communist insurgents during a campaign rally in Graz on 18 July 665.

He joined the National Unity Party in 640 and quickly rose through the ranks, earning the party's nomination for the seat in Rykkburgh Central.
