Edward Roivas is a clinical psychologist, and Alex's grandfather. In 1952 AD, he is led to the Tome by Max's ghost. His servants are attacked by a dreadful presence, the Vampire. Edward eventually defeats it and wipes out the garrisoned forces of Ehn'gha with a massive Dispel Magick spell from the city's nine-point spell circle (formed by the towers of the city). 48 Years later, he is killed by a Lesser Guardian via the latter decapitating and presumably devouring his head, although his reaction before being killed (calmly raising his head with eyes closed) implies he was expecting his death to be inevitable.
Before his death during his elder years, he received artifacts from several survivors of the Ancient's Darkness and hid them in places inside his mansion. These artifacts would later be found by Alexandra Roivas as she searches for clues on her grandfather's death.
Edward is the game's primary narrator, introducing each Tome chapter (with the exception of Pious') and narrating the epilogue. He is the only character in the 1900's confirmed to be killed by the Ancients (as Peter Jacob and Edwin Lindsey were confirmed to have survived their ordeals, and Michael Edwards' fate is left ambiguous). He appears once more during the final battle to say his final words to his grand daughter, mentioning how proud her parents would have been.
