Origin Edwin grew up in a modest neighborhood in New York’s Lower East Side with his younger sister, Angela. From a young age, he showed remarkable intelligence, consistently ranking at the top of his class, all while helping care for Angela as their parents worked long hours to support the family. After high school, Edwin earned a scholarship to one of the most prestigious medical schools in the country, where he met Lance, his best friend and rival. Their friendship and rivalry only deepened as they both joined the Cardiology department at Silver Oak, constantly pushing each other to excel. Over time, Edwin came to trust Lance like a brother. So when Edwin was assigned to a special mission in the Middle East six months ago through an agreement between Silver Oak and the military, he entrusted Angela's care to Lance, confident that his friend would look after her in his absence.

Toward Clarissa, Edwin is appreciative and trusting. Richard Fletcher: Richard is a private first class on duty at the military base Edwin was assigned to.
