Young Edwin, he sat drinking,
'till time to go to bed
He little thought a sword that night
Would part his body and head
-Edwin, Steeleye Span (Now We Are Six, 1974)

...Fortunately, this Edwin is very much alive and not at all headless, though the same cannot be said of various people he's met.

Edwin Daryil is an adventurer, and one of the older members of Daryil's clan. His children include Illiath Taun, and more recently, a certain jackal incubus who has shown up in some of my more recent comics.

While Daryil clan tries to be pacifistic these days, it's always useful to have some hardened warriors in reserve, just in case. Edwin is one of these, and if someone were to commit an unforgivable crime in Daryil's territory - for example, murdering a child of Daryil, or stealing souls of people under his protection - Edwin would be there as his master's avenging angel to carry out the execution. He is also an accomplished drummer.

Edwin hasn't had a vast amount of artwork done of him so I figured it was time to see what Keetah Spacecat could do with him.
