Appearances

Day 4

Edgar was known to have a photographic memory, as seen in the season premiere of Day 4, and was friends with analyst Chloe O'Brian, who described him as "a geek, but a good guy."

Edgar was at first seen as the patsy of Chloe O'Brian, though as Day 4 went on, Edgar took his own stand. Even so, the two remained good friends.
Edgar was the agent who realized that fellow agent Sarah Gavin was innocent of conspiring with the enemy, and that fellow agent Marianne Taylor was in fact guilty. Edgar would eventually prove this all to Driscoll, who would fire Taylor and re-establish Gavin.

Edgar was the main hero behind the Nuclear Plant Meltdown Crisis, managing to stabilize 98 Plants without the ever-crucial Dobson Override. A few hours later, all but one plant (located at St. Gabriel Island) was stabilized, but ironically that one plant eventually killed his mother.

Stiles was shown as a competent, although slightly stodgy, technical analyst. Virtually nothing is known about his life outside of CTU except that his mother died when a nuclear reactor melted during Day 4.

After Chloe was forced to resign and Gavin was fired, Edgar had complete control of the Analyst department of CTU and when Chloe was rehired by Acting-Director Michelle Dessler, Chloe was "technically" working for Edgar, much to his approval.

In truth, they both shared the same post after Chloe was rehired, but according to Curtis Manning, "It's just on paper, it has to look that way." To stop further squabbling, he reassured Chloe that she would be given a promotion of two pay grades and a higher clearance.

Day 5

Edgar was still working at CTU: LA at the start of Day 5, shocked like most CTU staff that Jack Bauer was still alive, and potentially a suspect in the murder of former President David Palmer. He was particularly irked at Chloe for not telling him that she knew about Jack's true whereabouts, to which she claims it was a matter of National Security. She then makes a sarcastic comment about trying to be more open with Edgar, which causes him to be somewhat taken aback. This confrontation, along with the fact he was surprised to realize that Chloe was seeing fellow CTU Techie Spenser Wolff, made Edgar feel generally strained by someone he considered a good friend.
At 6:59 p.m. in Day 5, during a Sentox nerve gas attack on CTU, Stiles was returning to the main room after trying to check on a colleague, Carrie Bendis, who had gone to check a ventilator system that set off a "trouble flag." He did not make it back in time, and failed to enter the situation room before it was locked down. He died quickly thereafter from inhaling the nerve gas. He receives the silent clock in tribute, at 6:59:56.

His last word was "Chloe," in a tone that suggested confusion and sadness for being left out to die.

At the conclusion of Day 5, a picture of Edgar and Chloe was found among Edgar's possessions, which Bill Buchanan gives to a still-saddened Chloe.
