Yaaaas, THANK YOU ANON! <3
Ok three lil factoids about the boys!
Well here’s some backstory I was kinda working on them! Edgar Wolf has kinda unintentionally become a side OC with how heavily involved he is in their past. Like I actually may make some profile moodboard thing for him later. ANYWAYS, He was a leader similar to Dutch in a sense, but a bit of an adrenaline junkie with insane heist ideas. Rob a train while still moving, hop on, and not let the conductor or anyone of authority find out till they get to the station? Sounds like an Ed idea. Release hundreds of birds inside a manor party and rob people blind in the panic? Ed Idea lol. But despite it all, he became the weird but doting father that the boys have wanted all their life.
🖊He heavily encouraged Leonard’s mind, always trying to find new books, lectures or theories for the boy to look into and keep his mind learning constantly, He’s also the only one in the gang that could hold his own the longest against him in games of chess. He always valued his input in his crazy plans, and because of him taking Leo’s strategies seriously, these plans actually worked and with the fewest of casualties. So yes… they did pull off the bird robbery, despite the absurdity of it all, thanks to Leo. lol
🖊Ed also went out of his way to make sure Theodore could continue his studies as a doctor. He made sure they stayed a few days near town so Theo could work with the local doctors there, get more medical texts and maybe some hands on experience if the local doctor allowed it. It benefited the camp as well to have Theo be officially trained to patch up bullet wounds of course. But it was mainly because it was Theo’s passion. Edgar always was under his own belief that keeping his gang happy with what they loved kept the pack closer together and content. And he was right of course. But with it, he created a bit of a mother hen with Theo when it came to Edgar’s own health since the man eats what he wants, drinks and smokes as much as he wants. Not to mention all the scars from old shootouts and robberies. Ed just waves off all of Theo’s fretting about his health much to everyone’s else’s amusement. :p
🖊As for Nicholas, he actually helped him loosen up a lot around the others in camp and teach him to trust other people aside from his siblings. He’d go on hunting trips with Ed and they’d bond over the experience, Nick very slowly learning that he didn’t need to be so paranoid around him. And bit by bit, Nick would confide in Ed about his hopes for he and his brothers, his fears, even things about his childhood that twins didn’t even know. And really that was what Nick needed, a listening ear who wouldn’t judge, someone to share all his troubled thoughts with when he felt he couldn’t tell his brothers, he was suppose to be the eldest after all. He felt like he couldn’t burden them with all of his own anxieties and thoughts. But Ed listened and while he didn’t always have a solution or response for Nick, it always helped that he could come to him about anything and then they’d go and vent it out hunting or maybe fighting some bandits. Either way, Nick always comes back in a better mood once Ed snagged him for a chat lol
Yeee, so yea there’s a lil tidbit about the boys and their old gang leader and their odd sort-of family. :3c
