Fictional character biography
Edward "Eddie" Fyers is initially employed by the CIA to kill the rogue archer Shado.[1] He appeared frequently in Mike Grell's run on the Green Arrow ongoing series, occasionally in the summer bi-weekly Green Arrow arcs with Shado. Over the course of his appearances, Fyers becomes a reluctant ally of Oliver Queen, aka Green Arrow. After Grell left the Green Arrow series at issue #80, Chuck Dixon and Jim Aparo further developed Fyers's character.[2]
Fyers becomes a father figure to Connor Hawke, Oliver's son and the second to bear the name Green Arrow. Fyers cares for Connor after Oliver is killed in a plane explosion near Metropolis while fighting off eco-terrorists.[3]
Eddie Fyers re-appears in Green Arrow comics following DC Rebirth. This version of the character is a mercenary and member of the Ninth Circle, an international criminal organization and bank.[4]
