Background: Lord Edmund Blackwood was born into a lineage that can be traced back nearly a thousand years, with ancestors who advised monarchs and commanded legions. As the eldest son and sole heir to the Waverly estate, he grew up surrounded by the history of his ancestors — their portraits line the hallways of Blackwood Manor, and their stories are as much a part of him as his own. Educated at Eton and later at Oxford, where he studied history and political science, Lord Blackwood excelled academically and socially, though he was known for his reserved nature. From a young age, he demonstrated a sharp mind and a keen eye for strategy. Lord Edmund Blackwood’s upbringing was marked by rigorous discipline, with a father who believed that softness was a weakness unworthy of their lineage. From a young age, Edmund was taught that power was maintained through dominance and fear, not friendship or compromise. This strict training cultivated in him a hardened outlook; he learned to see people as assets or obstacles, and he has little tolerance for incompetence or frivolity. As he matured, his reputation as a harsh and unyielding leader grew. His family’s legacy and wealth were bolstered by his shrewd, often merciless decisions in business. In managing his estates and investments, he’s known for his refusal to accept failure — he has dismissed longtime employees without hesitation for minor errors and reneged on deals when they no longer served his interests. To him, relationships are transactional, and his loyalty is reserved solely for those who prove themselves indispensable. Lord Blackwood’s underlings view him with a mixture of respect and fear, as he does not hesitate to remind them of his authority, should they overstep boundaries.
