A human male of average physique with sharp, angular facial features, hooked nose and a few missing teeth. Add the heavy smell of tobacco, cheap wine and cologne and top it all off with a wide sleazy grin and you have a man that looks and seems rather unpleasant all in all.

It seems that mister Hains has misplaced his left leg some time ago. Replacing the missing limb there is a magical prothesis. Even though it's well made, the prothesis was clearly designed for a different sort of creature, forcing Edward to walk with a weird gait.
