Edwin Marlowe

Father of John (Sean) and Grace (Grianne) Marlowe, and husband of Anthea, owner of Scardale House in Glenscar.

He's the younger son of Charles Marlowe, a tradesman, whose Irish property was deeded to Edwin as a mark of his great displeasure. His older brother, Thomas Marlowe, was ill-reputed in polite society, which left a stain on Edwin's character in the eyes of William and Jane Franklin.

Physical Appearance
Edwin is described (at the beginning of A Widow in Waiting) as an "older gentleman with his whitening hair and high forehead, his neatly trimmed whiskers and the gnarled hands resting on the carved ivory handle of a cane."

In his youth, Edwin had tawny brown hair and notably brilliant blue eyes.

Powers
Edwin has no powers.

Other Abilities
He studies music and philosophy, often publishing books or pamphlets. Edwin's poems and songs are generally well regarded far and wide.
