Edmund 'Eddie' Carmichael
Age: Twenty-eight.
Location: Wandsworth, London.
Occupation: He is the chairman and CEO of Carmichael, Inc, a company that is similar to the Kirkland Signature company of Costco. They make a variety of products (shoes, pizza, salt, you name it) and ship them to a chain store (like Wal-Mart). The exact store has yet to be determined, but Carmichael Inc. is definitely owned by larger company (the Wal-mart to their Sam's Club) that Eddie plans to eventually take over. But right now, he's content with Carmichael, Inc. Also, he still manages Matty's career. Actually, he has assistants who do a lot of researching and work and then report back to him. But yes, Eddie is the Godfather to Matt's Johnny Fontane. He also donates a lot of money to charity, but that's nothing new.

University & Afterwards: Eddie attended LSE (London School of Economics) and double majored in Economics and Management. While this was going on, his mother remarried Clifford Dodson, owner of a Target/Wal-mart like company. After much pressuring from his new wife, Clifford allowed his stepson to intern at a branch company, Dodson Co. Dodson Co was the main company's store brand. Once Eddie graduated, he was working at the company full time, owner of one of his dad's car lots, and managing Matthew Bates' career. Over the years he has risen in rank and got a lot of attention from the corporate big wigs. Thanks to Clifford (who is still really shocked over Eddie's success) and his talent, he is now chairman and CEO of Dodson Co which just recently changed it's name to Carmichael Inc. He sold the car dealership much to his father's dismay, bought a shitload of stocks and bonds (mostly from the main company and Carmichael Inc). I do not know a lot about business, so if something is horribly wrong, I'll change it eventually. But that is basically what went down. He also managed to continue dating long time love interest Samantha Capper. So basically, everything is going his way! But not really.

Family: Oh, the Carmichaels. Ed Sr is still a ridiculous car salesman who is dating women half his age (and younger!). Eddie has realized that his dad isn't the nicest man in the world (he's actually quite greedy, imagine that), but he still thinks his dad is the greatest. As for his mother, she hasn't had much to do with him since he was 12. Buuut she's gotten remarried (despite all the talk of feminism and how much she didn't need a man) a year or two after he graduated from Hogwarts and Eddie is Really Not Fond of his new stepdad. His stepdad is actually the owner of the larger company that owns Carmichael, Inc. And Eddie kind of detests him. He appreciates the opportunity that he gave Eddie (it made his dream come true a lot faster, really) but uh. He hates the man. He is very :) to his face, but I think Stepdaddy is very condescending and did not expect Eddie to do so well and Eddie can't even handle that. So, yes. Stepdad, he thanks you for what you did, but please gtfo.

Offspring: No.

Relationships: Eddie's father told Samantha that Eddie had been infatuated with Samantha since he was 13. This was no exaggeration. After relentlessly pursuing her (with lots of embarrassment on both of their parts), things finally started turning in his favor during his final year at Hogwarts. They managed to keep going after Hogwarts and through university and once they graduated from their respective schools, moved in together in Worcester. The big problem that came along with that is tradition. Samantha was not pleased with the living arrangements when they were only dating and not-so-subtly hinted that she'd like to get married eventually. Eddie is not a fan of marriage (see parents for example), but gave in and eventually proposed. And ...they didn't get married. They continued to live together and everything was great. But Eddie kept putting off the marriage and making excuses about why it wasn't the right time. More recently, Samantha had an abortion due to her refusal to have a child out of wedlock. It was a very distressing time and after Eddie put off getting married again, she left him for an older gentleman. Since then, he's had a lot of thinking to do and is almost ready to get married. Almost. He attempted to have a fling with one of his interns and almost slept with her but uh. Guilt caused performance anxiety. Guess what the new office gossip is? :D

Anything Else: Eddie really hasn't changed a bit. He still rarely swears, is all about being PC, and loves business suits, scotch, and jazz music. He's stopped building model cars (he has a room with all of his cars on shelves!) and instead has a very impressive array of cars. It's the only thing he allows himself to splurge on. He likes to keep things upper middle class at the most. He has the money to have a large manor and just be extravagant in general, but doesn't. He only keeps one car (sometimes two!) at his house and keeps the rest in a garage not too far from him.
