Eddie

Background

Eddie Castle is a resident of Little Creek, New Mexico. His father is Walt. Eddie branded himself with a soldering iron so he would know how Walt's cattle felt.

During the events of The Return (1980) played by Brad Rearden

Wayne is drinking beer in his patrol vehicle when a car driven by Eddie and with Darren and a woman inside of it speeds past while also swerving along the road. Eddie crashes his car through the entryway of his father Walt’s property and stops. Wayne walks up and knocks on Eddie’s window and Eddie lowers it and spits beer on Wayne who finally pulls his gun out when Eddie refuses to get out of his car. Darren warns Wayne not to do anything that might upset Walt and Wayne shoots Eddie’s car radio. Niles Buchanan drives up and Darren tells him Wayne went crazy. Niles smooths things over and he and Wayne leave. As Niles and Homer are examining a mutilated cow, Wayne, Walt, Eddie and Darren walk up and Walt criticizes Wayne for not finding out what is mutilating his cattle. Walt asks Jennifer what could have mutilated his cattle, and she tells him she doesn't know. After she leaves the cafe, Jennifer gets into her car and is grabbed by Eddie. She throws her coffee on his face and gets out of her car. She is then confronted by Darren and a Cowboy and Darren shows her one of the devices she put out and accuses her of using the device to kill Walt's cattle. She tells him and Eddie that it monitors geothermal magnets. She runs away from them to the inside of a building, but is caught and Eddie shows him the brand he did to his own hand. She manages to get away again, but is caught and as she is about to be sexually assaulted by Eddie, Wayne shows up and starts punching and slapping Eddie and Darren. Walt walks up with Niles and Walt apologizes to Jennifer for what Eddie did, but also warns her not to come on his property again after accusing her of mutilating his cattle. As he is riding his horse, Eddie sees Wayne and Jennifer and starts shooting at them and Wayne fires back and Eddie falls off of his horse and lands in the belly of another dead cow. The Prospector walks up and kills Eddie.
