Eddie Salt

Background
Eddie was Rupert’s second son, being the middle child in the family growing up. Eddie always gave Rupert the least amount of trouble, and was therefore always crowned secretly as his favorite child. He often defended Rupert from Veruca’s demands, and this implemented serious strain between he and his sister at a young age. Eddie has a strong relationship with his brother Luca and is the head news-anchor in the village thanks to his father getting him a job there. Eddie handled the loss of his mother very poorly, much worse than either of his siblings had ever shown. In his spare time, Eddie often sneaks over to egg the Winston residence and once caught Besi Winston’s leg in a bear trap when a prank went too far. Whenever the authorities were about to take Eddie in, he was always bribed out by his father.

Act I
On the third night when his sister Veruca died, he and his brother Luca broke-down while reporting it on the news the next morning out of sadness.

On the fifth night, the entire village agreed to take refuge in Salt Mansion. Eddie welcomed the residents with opened arms to stay with them for the night. When the Handymen attacked, Eddie helped defend the mansion from them and survived the assault.

On the sixth night, Eddie joined Alexander and Peanut to go and rescue Mrs Gloop from Granny. Upon arriving at the house, they quickly got to Mrs Gloop and freed her from her chains in the Fortnite surround sound room. While Alexander was diverting Granny's attention, Peanut and Eddie escorted Mrs Gloop down the stairs where she had her leg caught in a bear trap. Once she was free, they barely escaped from Granny's grasp and had to escort a brutally beaten Alexander after his encounter with Granny, and Mrs Gloop to the hospital and into the care of Doctor Norwegian Flint.

On the seventh night, Eddie joined Eugene and Mike outside to fend off the Alligators in the open. They were quickly pushed back to the Flint residence. While there, Eddie defended the residence from the Alligators for as long as possible. The others were forced to flee when the Mean Man kidnapped Eddie and dragged him off into the forest.

Eddie was chained up in a cave next to Gregory Van der Linde after being captured by the Mean Man, he witnessed Gregory be executed by the Mean Man when he threw his plastic phone at him and was about to be next before Eugene and others rescued him when Eugene shot off the Mean Man's hand. Upon escaping the cave, Eddie and the others were temporarily held at gunpoint by Lionel Hutz before being rescued by Bearby, Dallas, Dutch and Luca. Eddie set off with the majority of the remaining village survivors to form a camp led by Eugene for survival.

Act II
Four weeks later. Eddie moved into the camp with the rest of the remaining village survivors now led by Eugene Flint.

After smoke signals were seen coming from the old village, Eddie joined Alsimi to investigate what they were. When they encountered Huxler, Besi and Peanut, Eddie. After catching the three men up with what had happened, Eddie helped escort them back to camp.
