Editing Edward McHaggis (section)

== Personality and morality ==
Edward is known as a fierce, calculating, and unapologetically ruthless figure within the Los Santos criminal underworld. Those close to him describe him as a man shaped by hardship and sharpened by betrayal—a strategist who understands that power is taken, not given. Edward operates with a mentality grounded in dominance and survival, a stark contrast to others who rely on honour or restraint. His sense of loyalty, while present, is selectively applied, bound tightly to those who serve his goals rather than any ideal of friendship or family.

While he possesses a sharp tactical mind and a deep understanding of criminal operations, Edward doesn’t shy away from extreme measures. Where others might draw lines, Edward sees only opportunities, and he views violence as a natural and effective tool for achieving his aims. To him, intimidation and breaking others—physically, psychologically, or financially—are essential steps in securing his position. Edward values resilience and respects those who can match his ruthlessness, but he has little patience for weakness or sentiments that interfere with his path to power.

Edward’s morals are flexible, molded by necessity rather than principle. He believes in the value of loyalty, yet only to those who have proven themselves capable and unwavering under pressure. Despite his merciless approach, he is pragmatic enough to know when alliances are useful, making him an occasionally dependable partner, albeit one who never lets his guard down. In his world, strength is absolute, and vulnerability is nothing short of a liability. Edward’s legacy is built on a foundation of fear and control, and he has no illusions about the kind of man he needs to be to keep it that way.
