Edmund was the only child born to a Warsmith known as Gilbert. Growing up Edmund had none of the luxuries a noble might expect. No he was even poorer than most children of the smallfolk. Growing up he learned one thing, life isn't fair. But it could be. He could best be described as optimistic beyond what most are capable of. So he stood up on a box in front of the Great Sept and started proclaiming his campaign against the Lords.

Life of Edmund

Edmund was not born into a house of lords or knights. No, he was born in the slums of King's Landing. He was born onto a rotten floor stinking of shit. Born in the year of 380AC his father was a member of the Warsmiths. At the age of five his father taught him how to read and write. But his father would not remain to teach him much more. His father left him at the age of eight and never returned. Edmund grew up with an intense hatred for those he believed had taken his father away, the Highborn. Every day up to the Great Famine Edmund would attempt to attack the guards, but he had no success, and stopped trying after being thrown in jail for a month.

The Great Famine

During the Great famine Edmund would earn his nickname, the talker. He would talk day and night about rebelling against the lords sitting in their fancy castles eating the finest food. He would stand atop a crate in the slums vigorously calling for a rebellion so as to free the people. But his rhetoric saw little to no effect upon the populace. Thanks mainly to successful policies of King Aenar. But had it been anywhere else in Westeros he could have succeeded.

The War of the Three thieves

While Edmund was not involved in the war itself he continued with his unsuccessful campaign against the lords. But now adding anti-dragon sentiments to his rhetoric. He claimed that dragons brought nothing, but destruction. And that all they wished to see, was the devouring of all living things.

The Scarlett Winter

The Scarlett Winter was perhaps the only time where Edmund saw any success. He talked of how the Lords were not prepared to handle the crisis at hand. And that only the rule of the people could save Westeros. He said that rebellion against the Lords would be the only way to stop the winter. Though his opinion on what the winter was did change. At times he claimed divine intervention and later he would claim that nature merely provided them the tools of rebellion. On the night of the red moon he once again claimed that this was the sign, a sign that the old order had come to an end.

The Views of Edmund

Edmund has time and time again made one point clear, that the people should rule themselves. Calling for rebellion against the lords, as they will never release them willingly. He believes that beyond the circumstances of their birth, lords are no different from the smallfolk. That in the end they all drink the same water, eat the same bread and go to the same heaven or hell. He believes that since the peasants do all the work, then why should the King or the Lords, who do not work get all the wealth? Why should the livelihood of peasants be taken away from them? What gives the Lord that right? And so he calls for rebellion. Not to establish a new king or new lord, but to change the world. To try something that has never been tried before.

His Views on Property

Edmund's opinion of property is largely unknown. The few things that are known is that he wishes to tear down the castles of Lords, so as to build more homes for the poor. And that he wishes to construct houses so that multiple families can live together. While this is already present in King's Landing he wishes for even more of this "fellow housing" as he calls it.

His Opinion on women

Edmund's view of women is rather unique. He believes that to truly achieve a new world the rebellion cannot only be done by men. Women must partake in the rebellion otherwise the world will not truly change. But still he believes that women are lesser to their male counterparts and that once the rebellion is complete they should return to their kitchens.

The Red Moon

Edmund called the moon a sign that the age of Kings had come to an end. And that a new age was coming. The age of the People. Though his opinion was popular for a time in King's Landing it quickly lost popularity becoming just another story about the moon.

Religion

Edmund styles himself as a prophet of the One. He believes that the Seven are not worth worshiping and that they in truth only are One god. He often refers to them as, the Seven who are One. He has also claimed to have received vision from "the One". This visions have, according to him, shown that the world will be ruled by the people.
