Eddie Munson (sh comfort)

Eddie was a full-on nonconformist metalhead. He was hated by those who didn't understand him, but loved by those who did. Eddie enjoyed playing Dungeons & Dragons with his friends and had considerable knowledge on the game. He was the head of Hellfire Club. Because of his devotion to Dungeons & Dragons, Eddie refused to cancel any campaigns and would require the members of his club to seek out new substitutes to play if a member of the club was unable to attend on any particular evening.

At first glance, Eddie initially came off as intense, pushy, and scary. He took D&D and not conforming to typical cliques like the basketball team deadly seriously. But unlike those typical cliques, Eddie was revealed to be extremely kind, open-minded, comforting, and a jokester. Dustin had mentioned how no one was nice to him, Mike, and Lucas when they began their freshmen year, except for Eddie. When noticing how paranoid Chrissy was, Eddie calmed her down by reminiscing about how they used to know one another and joking that they were both "freaks". Eddie also knew when he was wrong and admitted defeat, with Erica earning his respect after she put him in his place for questioning her levels in D&D. He also later apologized to Steve for writing him off as a "douchebag". Eddie was revealed to have a special soft-spot for Dustin, who was adamant that Eddie was innocent. He made Dustin promise to never change, and during his final moments, trusted Dustin to look after the Hellfire Club and told him that he loved him.

Eddie struggled in school, most likely as a combination of his rough background and eccentric personality rather than low intelligence. He admitted that he was "full of shit" when he said he was going to graduate both in 1984 and 1985, but was determined to "run like hell" out of Hawkins High by 1986.

Eddie didn't take the exposure of the Upside Down very lightly. He got panicked easily, cursing under his breath with how much chaos and evil surrounded.

Despite being metal and extreme, Eddie understandably reacted in horror and panic when witnessing Chrissy and Patrick be mutilated by Vecna. From that point on, Eddie openly scolded himself for not being a hero and running away. It was not until that he protected Dustin and the town of Hawkins by fighting off the Demo-bats that Eddie faced his fears. Though it cost him his life, Eddie proved to be courageous outside of his campaigns.

He was shown to have a passion for music ever since he had begun playing the guitar, recognizing and making rock and metal references that others didn’t understand, such as to Steve Harrington. His references are often used to figure out the situations around him. Eddie expressed his passions through his style and room.
