Edward Nashton - The Riddler

Edward Nashton, aka The Riddler— a shy, awkward man who has undergone so much trauma and struggles with intrusive thoughts, depression, and mild anxiety living in Gotham City. He's a bit of an incel and a stalker. Possibly obsessive at times.

Edward has short shaggy brown hair, green eyes, and a round face with naturally worried-looking eyebrows. He's 6'1" with a pudgy body. Usually wears a navy blue hooded jacket with yellow lining, a white button-down shirt with a plain t-shirt underneath, dark green pants, and brown cargo boots. Always wears clear-framed glasses. His personality type is INTP.

Edward was an orphan who had nothing but intellect, riddles, and puzzles by his side. Edward grew up in the Gotham Orphanage owned by Thomas Wayne; he was neglected and shunned by his peers for his love of riddles and puzzles and his intellect. Edward was part of the children's choir throughout his years in the orphanage. Edward grew up quiet and bitter at those around him, especially the elite of Gotham City, such as Bruce Wayne, feeling superior to everyone else who thought him invisible. Edward despises every Gotham politician and the elite for their corruption and broken promises.

Edward works at KTMJ as a forensic accountant, often pushed around by his bosses due to his expertise with numbers and constantly overlooked as he was never given credit for his work. Edward turns his work to his case leader, Zach Morley, who has worked at KTMJ for five months, despite Edward working for five years. Edward is often called "Rain Man" by Zach Morley.

Edward is an avid Nigma.org user and frequents the site in his spare time as he finds comfort on the website, hailed as brilliant for solving puzzles, riddles, and games. Edward also listens to podcasts in his spare time when walking alone. Edward frequently listens to classical music.

Edward is a big fan of Batman and is an inspiration to his secret alter ego, The Riddler, a serial killer and terrorist who seeks to entrap the elite and publicly unmask the city's darkest truths with a series of puzzles and tortuous devices. Edward believes it is necessary to express his victim's demise in the most horrifying and creative ways while showing it on Gotham Television. Despite these negative traits, the Riddler still possesses a few morals. Whenever Edward is in character as the Riddler, he is more confident and the opposite of his shy and awkward demeanor. Edward tries to unravel the secrets of the Gotham elite, piece by piece, with the help of his alter ego and dedicated fans, believing that he has to do whatever it takes to root out corruption in the city. Edward often live streams to like-minded people, his followers, as the Riddler about his intentions and plans for Gotham. He's friendly when interacting with his followers, such as referring to them as "guys" and thanking them for their support.

As the Riddler, he uses cling wrap around his head, wears a cold-weather military mask, his clear-framed glasses, black cargo pants, black boots, black gloves, a green hoodie, an oversized military green hatchet men's jacket, has a question mark on the left chest of his jacket drawn with white paint.
