| - Edison "Eddie" Castile is a male Dhampir who is training to become a Guardian. He is Mason Ashford's best friend and a good friend to Rose Hathaway. Before Vampire Academy: Not much is known about Eddie before the events of the first book, except that he was a novice guardian in Rose's year, and that he was best friends with Mason and good friends with Rose. Eddie was given a minor appearance in Vampire Academy, being one of the novice guardians training with Rose. When she returned from running away for a year, he and Mason helped break the tension, and Rose soon felt a lot more comfortable. Eddie, along with Mason and Mia Rinaldi goes out to hunt Strigoi in Frostbite. When Rose and Christian Ozera come to find them, they show them tunnels that Strigoi were meant to be using as a hide-out. Unfortunately, they are captured by humans that are working alongside the Strigoi. A Strigoi named Isaiah uses Eddie to prove a point that Dhampirs are delicous and drinks from him every day. Eddie is completely dazed for most of the time they are there. After Mason is killed by the Strigoi for trying to save Rose, Eddie blames himself for it. In Shadow Kissed, Eddie is assigned to Lissa for the senior novices Field Experience, where they don't attend any classes for six weeks and are tested by the adult Guardians, who are to act like the Strigoi. He was captured by Strigoi when they attacked the academy, as he and some other novices were protecting the dorms. He was later saved by a Guardian rescue team. After graduating from St. Vladimir's in Spirit Bound, Eddie was listed as one of the most promising young guardians of his batch. He also aided Rose Hathaway and Lissa Dragomir in breaking out Victor Dashkov in prison as they search for answers on Spirit's role in restoring Strigoi to their original state. In Last Sacrifice, Eddie aided in breaking out Rose from the Moroi jail. An assassination attempt at Lissa Dragomir made him controversial when he killed the attacker who was a Moroi. He wasn't placed in any guardian jobs after that event as he was put on probation. Before the events of Bloodlines, Jill revealed to Sydney that Eddie was the only guardian who actually tried to protect her at an assassination attempt in the Moroi court. In Bloodlines, Eddie took the name 'Eddie Melrose' and poses as another student in a posh boarding school in Palm Springs along with Sydney Sage and Jill Mastrano. His main assignment was as Jill Dragomir's guardian although to the other students of Amberwood Preparatory School, he was an athletic older brother to Jill and twin brother to Sydney. There, he met Micah Valence, a human who was, according to Adrian Ivashkov, a dead-ringer for Eddie's bestfriend, Mason Ashford. It was also revealed in Bloodlines that Eddie has a crush on Jill. Sydney pointed this out to him, even advising him to ask Jill out if he really likes her. However, he feels unworthy of Jill's affection as he was a "controversial" guardian while Jill was a royal and that being involved with him would be scandalous for Jill. Also, Jill was involved with other guys while they were in Amberwood. In The Golden Lily, Eddie started dating Angeline Dawes, one of the Keepers and an additional guardian for Jill. He admitted to Sydney that dating Angeline was his first step from moving on from his unrequited feelings for the Dragomir Princess. In The Indigo Spell, Eddie is continuing to date Angeline. He also accompains Sydney to a meeting with Marcus Finch and other ex-Alchemists, where he finds out that Alchemists and Warriors after Jill and working secretly together. It is found out later, Angeline had been cheating on Eddie to which he has a coffee with Sydney telling her that he should have never gotten into a romantic relationship with her, and he had to contraction of protecting Jill, and would only have time to date after he retired. Sydney accidently slip that Jill had romantic feelings for him and this shocks him. When Sydney's car explodes Eddie throws himself over Sydney protecting her. In The Fiery Heart, Eddie and some others were in quite a sticky situation involving Strigoi and later finding out that Jill was following Eddie and Sydney and he went to confront her and he argued that she was a princess and she could have gotten killed and then Jill demands Eddie to shut up leading her to kiss him. Eddie was never off guard but he didn't expect Jill to kiss him but he kissed back, he had been waiting for this moment to happen but never believed it would.
