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 the present day, he and Mike are 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."

Iterations
Edgar has 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.

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.

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 to send them incriminating information about Mike, driving a wedge between him and others. Mustardseed was eventually caught by the Flinchites. The other escaped iterations of O.V.Edgar were either killed under mysterious circumstances or consolidated.

Yet another iteration of O.V.Edgar escaped at a time separate from the attempts that eventually became Mustardseed. This iteration lives with his Mikey in Vancouver, Canada. The two call themselves Edman and M-Dawg, and have an Instagram chronicling easy, laid-back lives. Matt tracked down and stalked these iterations, but found nothing immediately incriminating.

With Mike's unwilling assistance, some of Edgar's iterations have been 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. In the present timeline, the Lost Year never happened.

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.
