Am I the only one that thinks Edmund is more then the moral he claims to be? He had done many a great things and seems to know a lot more then he is letting on. Was I the only one that thought it was suspicious that Gaia made a special mention to tell Edmund hi like they had meet before? Could Johnny have told his good friend about his titan blood and more?
You're not the only one. I think there's something more to Edmund than we're being told. For one thing he proved vampires are actually vulnerable and can be scared for life. Someone that can harm a vampire has to either have some kind of massive power or been given some kind of mystical artifact from the gods. Why else would he pat his sword when Sen doubted his abilities.
Harming vampires isn't hard, though. Then again, I'm not sure how Gaian vampires function exactly compared to the canon. KILLING them is always the hard part. s**t, Zhivago showed clear pain when Johnny snapped his elbow in two!
Still, that does seem suspicious. Did Johnny tell Edmund ANYTHING about his lineage? Was Edmund told by Gaia herself at an earlier point in time? In The Fall, when Edmund dismissed Johnny's (rightful) suspicions of everything happening, his comment is "After all we've been through!!" Now yes, Edmund and Johnny seem to be long-time old friends, but
in this context the two might have been in much more than they'd like to let on. A titan and a vampire-slayer having adventures? Hot dog, I'll take ten! But for serious, it does at least hint that Johnny and Edmund are close enough that they know each other's secrets, and Gaia at the very least trusts Edmund enough to let him live with this sort of knowledge, at least, going by the context of "Titans are rare as s**t".
And from the end of that same comic, I'm guessing that hand is from Gaia herself. Most likely, she wants to deliver the letter to Gino and just drop the ugly truth right on his lap. And it also means she's not beyond interfering in affairs that aren't quite hers.
