Edward "Eddie" Gluskin, also referred to as "The Groom", is the secondary antagonist of the 2014 survival horror video game Outlast: Whistleblower, the DLC midquel to Outlast.

He is a psychotic, merciless, and misogynistic serial killer committed at Mount Massive Asylum.

He was voiced by Graham Cuthbertson.

Not much is known about Eddie Gluskin, but according to documents that can be found in the game, Gluskin was sexually abused by his father and uncle, causing him to suffer a severe psychotic break. As an attempt to cope with this experience, Gluskin began to claim that he was raised in a "Leave it to Beaver" home.

Before being committed to Mount Massive Asylum, he was a misogynistic and provocative serial killer who mutilated and murdered women. 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.

Eddie Gluskin is a huge, brutal, inhuman man whose strength exceeds brute strength. His strength rivals that of Chris Walker. Eddie Gluskin 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 has also subdued hundreds of other heavy adult men through brute force alone and tied them to hang at the top in the rafters of the gymnasium.

Gluskin is seen as a very tall, 6'10 exactly, and muscular man, middle-aged, with a black slicked-back disconnected undercut hairstyle that is neatly combed down and light blue eyes. Due to an exposure to the Morphogenic Engine, Eddie's face is covered with red scabs, skin peelings and he has a severe case of subconjunctival hemorrhage in both eyes, the right more so than left. He dons old-timey gentleman clothing crudely sewn together into a stained white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up slightly, a dark blue bow tie and matching waistcoat, as well as black fingerless gloves, matching work boots, belt, cargo pants and armbands. Whilst being strapped into one of the Morphogenic Engine's pods, Eddie had his clothes stripped off, leaving him with only a pair of white underwear. Whilst being exposed to the Engine, a number of tubes can be seen entering every orifice in his body.

Eddie Gluskin can easily be seen as a deranged romanticist. 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, he is incredibly violent at times. When his 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 (as if they had no reason to whatsoever). His opinions of women have been thinly revealed through dialogue, and it has been identified as misogyny. It is revealed through in-game documents that he used to be a serial killer who targeted and murdered only women before his incarceration.

As there were no women (both patients and employees) incarcerated in the Asylum during his stay there, Gluskin responds by abducting males instead and castrating them, then replacing their body parts with female ones. Possibly deluded into thinking males are actually females.

It is unclear to what extent Gluskin's affection for his wives goes to. He does seem to have concern for their well-being, showing some remorse over another of his victim's deaths but continuing to throw him aside. If he did have a child, he vowed to treat them with love and become the father that he never had, as he was sexually abused by his father and uncle while growing up.

Despite his insanity, originally at the beginning of the game, he was shown to be fully aware of what was happening to him and begged Waylon to stop all of it, afraid of what was happening.
