Eddie Gluskin can easily be seen as a deranged romanticist. He is very obsessed with the conception of obtaining the "perfect bride" and creating a line of children with his wife. He has an amorous vocabulary, normally referring to others by the term of endearment "darling." If angered, however, his choice of words becomes more derogatory and vulgar. Gluskin compares his lifelong quest and inability to find his soul mate with the song I Want a Girl, which he sings repeatedly.

Gluskin has something of a misleading and counterfeit personality. While he seemingly acts extremely charming and kind, something unexpected of a person of his large frame and disfigurements, his obsession and constant disappointments of finding his wife have made him incredibly violent to his failed "darlings." When his male victims attempt to escape him, he becomes extremely abusive and insulting to a psychotic degree, dropping any sense of false affection and becoming even more destructive, shouting that they betrayed him.

Gluskin has a deceptively kind personality; he is, by and large, very charming, though upon being rejected he can become violent, misogynistic, and insulting. His charming personality often slips when he is rejected, and he teeters dangerously between complimenting his "bride's" appearance and personality and insulting them, often using violent and misogynistic slurs. He also refuses to accept the difference between what he believes and the actual reality. He is also notably a family-oriented man, stating that he wishes for a family, a legacy, and to be the father that he never had for his children. Due to his childhood, he also mentions that he refuses to let their 'children' get hurt, and while he trails off in his sentence it is clear that he is thinking of his own abuse in such moments. He is also noted to be desirous of the consummation of his and his bride's 'marriage'. He is a huge, brutal, inhuman man whose strength exceeds brute strength. He can lift a heavy adult man with one arm suspended in the air and throw him several meters without getting tired and also drag him a relatively long distance inside of a footlocker, and he can effortlessly smash through iron doors.

He is a psychotic, merciless, and misogynistic serial killer committed as a Variant at Mount Massive Asylum. Obsessed with making a bride for himself by kidnapping and turning men into women through surgical mutilation. All that is known about Eddie Gluskin's early life is that he was sexually abused by his father and uncle, who took photos of the incident. The event was a matter of medical and public record, and Gluskin wasn't even old enough to know it was wrong, just that it hurt. His father and uncle were eventually incarcerated. As a coping mechanism for his traumatically violent upbringing, Gluskin would claim that he was raised in a "Leave it to Beaver" home. Prior to being admitted at Mount Massive Asylum, Eddie was a misogynist and a serial killer who mutilated women. There are implications that his insanity stems from being sexually abused as a child.

When interviewed and confronted with photos of his victims, Eddie refused to believe that they were dead and claimed that they were simply sleeping. He also similarly denied any abuse that took place during his childhood; however, when he was presented with photographic evidence, he responded with a startling mixture of laughter and anger, demonstrating that he developed a discomfort towards intimacy or anything else erotic. When forced to take part in Murkoff's experiments, he began having warped perceptions and delusions of marriage, women, and wanting children. When the asylum riot began, there were no women in the asylum; in his delusional state, he captured other variants and brutally attempted to perform sex changes on them. The victims would die before the process was completed, either during the surgery or killed by Eddie while he was driven further into his delusions. The procedure consisted of Eddie castrating his victims in order to turn them into "women" so he would be able to make them his "bride," with the addition of crudely adding breasts. Due to most (if not all) of these procedures turning out unsuccessful, Eddie would either string his victims up in the gymnasium or decorate the vocational block with their mutilated corpses in extremely grotesque fashions.
