Description
Edward Mason, called Eddie, is a 12-13-year-old boy from a multi-generational gravekeeping family. He worked diligently in the family business but received little recognition and few personal possessions, wearing hand-me-downs from older brothers and seeing his belongings passed to a younger brother. This neglect impacted his psychological development. His oldest brother Albert had violent tendencies, likely from undiagnosed mental health issues, and abused family pets. Eddie endured nightly beatings from Albert without telling others, offering himself to protect the animals.
Eddie developed a philosophy of "mutual love," believing killing living beings and crafting careful graves would make them eternal "treasures" reciprocating his affection. Conversations with an unnamed abused girl he met secretly at night reinforced this, as she suggested everyone might be happiest becoming "his." He began killing the family's ailing or abused pets, convinced this ended their suffering and transformed them into cherished possessions. This culminated in him killing the unnamed girl when she returned weakened after fleeing abusive foster parents; he interpreted her acceptance of death as validation, though it caused him deep emotional pain.
He became floor master of B4 in a mysterious building, maintaining a dark stone graveyard filled with graves he tended. Upon meeting Rachel Gardner, he fixated obsessively on killing and burying her, viewing her suicidal wishes as ideal for becoming his "treasure." He framed this as love, promising her peace and permanence in death. His interactions with Rachel showed childlike energy and direct language, but he grew volatile when she rejected him for Zack.
Eddie wielded a shovel and wore a burlap mask hiding his face, a red scarf, denim dungarees over a white t-shirt, mittens, and boots. The mask concealed freckles and ginger hair he feared would invite ridicule. Supplementary media like manga and anime depict him with fair skin, bright orange hair, and green eyes.
His personality blended apparent kindness and respectfulness with instability. He displayed playful, energetic mannerisms—bouncing or hanging from pipes—and valued artisanal dedication, such as Shin's furniture craftsmanship. However, his desperation for unconditional love fueled possessive violence. When Rachel repeatedly chose Zack, Eddie erupted into a destructive tantrum. He attacked using his floor's darkness but was overpowered by Zack, who killed him and buried him in a grave meant for Rachel.
The spin-off *Episode.Eddie* elaborated his backstory, detailing his history with the unnamed girl and his initial encounter with Gray, the building's overseer. It confirmed he disposed of bodies for Gray before becoming floor master.
