Black Tarantula

Biography
The man who would become the Black Tarantula was born in Madrid, Spain, before the Chrell Invasion. While he was not the son of the Black Tarantula, he was the son of a higher up in the Black Tarantula's organization. As Carlos LaMuerto's son had passed away, the Black Tarantula offered to adopt the boy and make him his son. For Edgar's actual father, there was no higher honor, and he agreed, giving up his son, while knowing that his son would take over the whole organization. Edgar was taught from a young age, to always follow the Black Tarantula's carefully constructed code of honor. At the same time, he was taught how to be ruthless, dangerous, and a cold blooded killer.
