As a child he was teased by schoolmate bullies because of his appearance.

One day at the park Edward was playing with his kite three school bullies beat him up and destroyed his kite.

Edward ran across the street at an intersection away from the bullies to hide but, when he crossed the intersection he caused an incoming vehicle to swerve and crash into another car.

There was one fatality and the person that died was the wife of an important government official from the city of Polanza.

Ever since that accident Edward hasn't been the same.  

He grew up to be a successful Robotics Engineer and prime minister of he's country due to the family royal legacy.
