J. Edwards

"The lights are all out. I'll lead you through here if you can get me off this base."

- J. Edwards to the Marine

J. Edwards was a UAC scientist who worked in Sector 2 of the Alpha Labs. He was one of the few personnel who survived the initial demon invasion. The player first sees him on a security camera and later meets up with him in person.

Edwards understandably wanted to leave the Mars base and expresses his desire to do so when encountered halfway through the game. He leads the Marine though a pitch black tunnel that is filled with Imps and Maggots and warns him about the electromagnetic pulses that might disable his lantern. Just before they manage to reach the exit, the pair are attacked by a large number of Imps; Edwards is killed in the attack.
