Personality: Manipulative and ambitious. Edgar Lackham is used to getting his own way. His manner is conversational and diffident, which hides the fact that he is extremely perceptive, always looking for a way to turn a situation to his advantage. Lackham is supremely confident in his own abilities and is extremely arrogant.
Personal Interests: Lackham has taken a personal interest in managing the career of the London based super hero Spitfire, to the extent that he even refers to himself as her manager, even though technically he owns the agency and does not manage other clients. It has now been revealed that he was doing this to increase his prestige in the Hellfire Club.
History: Very little is known about Edgar Lackham’s life before he met Spitfire. His father built up the family fortune and on his death, it all passed to his son. The circumstances of his father’s death have yet to be revealed. Ambitious to increase his power and influence, Lackham soon became aware of the Inner Circle of the London Hellfire Club and set his sights on taking the place left by the deceased Black Rook. To do this he used his fortune to manage the career of Spitfire, effectively taking over her life and then using the information he had on her to force her to work for the Hellfire Club. His duplicity won the approval of the Inner Circle and he was been promoted to Black Rook, however when Spitfire broke away from their control and destroyed the Club’s London mansion, Lackham was blamed by Silas Dashwood, the Black King, and stripped of his former rank. Fearing further reprisals, Edgar Lackham is currently in hiding.
