Eddie Munson

Edward 'Eddie' Munson was a human of the planet of Earth, living during the late 1900's, more specifically Earth's time period of the 1980's.

Physically, Edward 'Eddie' Munson is 5 feet 10 inches in height, have creamy olive-toned skin, an athletically toned and broad muscular body build, dark brown hair to his shoulders, and brown eyes. Eddie also has tattoos across his body, including any on his upper chest.

Edward 'Eddie' Munson was a student at Hawkins High School, and the idiosyncratic leader of the Hellfire Club, a fringe school society oriented around Dungeons & Dragons. He was an electric guitar player in his band Corroded Coffin, and the friend of Dustin Henderson, Lucas Sinclair, Will Byers, Jonathan Byers, and Mike Wheeler though he later formed a friendship with Steve Harrington, Nancy Wheeler, and Robin Buckley.

In 1986, Eddie witnessed the shocking supernatural killing of his friend Chrissy Cunningham. This spurred him on to seek justice for Chrissy, joining forces with "The Party" and their allies to investigate the cause of the murder.

Eddie also became the unfortunate target of Chrissy's boyfriend, Jason Carver, who mistakenly believed Eddie to be her murderer, and rallied members of his basketball team together in an effort to track Eddie down. Ultimately, Eddie and his friends discovered that "Vecna" - a humanoid being from an alternate dimension called "the Upside Down" - was to blame for Chrissy's death, and was continuing to murder others like her.

Eventually, Eddie used the power of heavy metal to distract Vecna's swarm of Demobats as the others launched an assault at the Creel House; unluckily for Eddie, the bid to lure away the bats ultimately cost him his life.

In the days that followed, Eddie continued to be misrepresented as a murderer and cult leader, but Dustin consoled his grieving uncle, assuring him those close to Eddie would always remember him differently.
