Personal history
King Edward first encountered our heroes on Argerus in 23 ARL. At the time, his kingdom was suffering from a famine with no clear cause or solution. Since he still had a strong army, he had come to Argerus through a recently discovered portal to try to offer the services of himself and his men as mercenaries, hoping to use the profits to buy grain for his people.
Edward's morals initially made this difficult. He broke a contract when he refused to slaughter children, and if he had contracts before that it is likely they ended similarly. His fortunes turned when he happened across Knight, Terana, Kit, and Sunderfury while they were looking for mercenaries to help New Hallownest in its war with the yellow formians. Despite his lamentation that he was apparently "no mercenary", the adventurers found his moral convictions admirable and his cause sympathetic. They offered a major contract and expert aid. Within minutes, they (and more specifically, their friend Saheeb) had handed the king a scroll containing all the information he needed on the doomsday cult that had been secretly causing the kingdom's crisis.
King Edward was very grateful, and while some of his troops went to deal with the cult and other subordinates purchased grain, he rapidly mobilized his army to reinforce New Hallownest and aid it in its war.
Morality & Philosophy
In many ways a paladin king, Edward Celris has strong (and apparently conventional) morals. He dislikes lying, keeps his word, refuses to harm innocents, and so forth.
