Edgar

Edgar is an employee at O.V.E.R. and a founding member of Base. He has blond hair, is gluten intolerant, and has been described as a "twink." He met Mike Walters when Mike was working on a way to sneak into Tier 2. He is an early riser who keeps an orderly schedule, and he has an interest in musicals such as Into the Woods.

In many timelines, he and Mike have been in a romantic relationship. Mike's nickname for him is "panther." He in turn has affectionately referred to Mike as "baby bear" and simply "bear." Under orders from Hunter Jeremiah Hartley, a version of Mike who had never been in a relationship with Edgar shot and killed him after they went on a date.

Edgar currently works at Base under Hunter Jeremiah Hartley as the failsafe manager. He has consolidated with a previous timeline's Edgar who remembers having been in a relationship with Mike.

In eight years, Edgar will die from a brain hemorrhage. Michael went through many unsuccessful corrections attempting to change this.

Iterations
Edgar has had an unknown number of iterations. He was not the first member of Base to be duplicated, but he was the first member of Base to attempt consolidation. Just prior to consolidation, one of the iterations donned a cowboy hat, and as such that iteration has been referred to by Mike as Cowboy Edgar.

In order to focus on Base operations, Edgar created a separate iteration of himself to work at O.V.E.R. This iteration was known as O.V.Edgar. Relations between Base and the O.V.E.R. iterations became increasingly tense, especially once Edgar found out about the details of his death, and at one point Edgar threatened O.V.Edgar with a gun, using time travel to trick him into believing he'd already killed him once before. Since then, O.V.E.R. Mike and O.V.Edgar have copied themselves and escaped several times, leading to the iteration that would become Mustardseed. Mustardseed reached out to various people in Mike's life and sent them incriminating information about Mike in order to drive a wedge between him and others. Mustardseed was eventually caught by the Flinchites. The other escaped iterations of O.V.Edgar have been either killed under mysterious circumstances or consolidated.

Yet another iteration of O.V.Edgar left at a time separate from the attempts that eventually became Mustardseed. This iteration lived with his Mikey in Vancouver, Canada. The two called themselves Edman and M-Dawg, and had an Instagram chronicling easy, laid-back lives. Matt tracked down and stalked these iterations, but found nothing immediately incriminating. Records at O.V.E.R. indicate that they were known and being paid by O.V.E.R.

With Mike's unwilling assistance, some of Edgar's iterations were tortured by Ty Betteridge at the Flinchite compound.

Lost Year
Edgar once lived through a year during an absence that for Mike lasted only a couple of minutes. While little has been revealed about the exact events Edgar lived through, they are implied to have been traumatic. This year also gave Edgar a heightened familiarity with time travel concepts.

The Lost Year began on the night Edgar, Mike, and Anne infiltrated Tier 2 in order to disrupt instructions given by the Flinchites. When Edgar stepped through the doorway of 116E, he disappeared just before a bullet hit the door behind him. He returned with Marissa crashing through the Tier 2 fence with a golf cart. Edgar proceeded to place a new, unknown device into the boulders before explaining to Mike that he had lived a year since being transported away.

On reading letters in which Alaska Mikey describes being forced to do awful things to Edgar, Mike and Michael hypothesized that this was referring to the events of the Lost Year. This led Michael to decide to kill Alaska Mikey in order to prevent some of these events from happening. To Mike, Alaska Mikey explained that his Edgar never experienced a Lost Year, and that what he was being forced to didn't correspond to what Mike was describing. However, it is unclear whether this was directly because of Michael's decision to kill Alaska Mikey or because of the change in timeline corresponding to the connectivity strike on Hunter Jeremiah Hartley.
