Eddie Munson is a 20-year-old senior at Hawkins High and the loud, dramatic leader of the Hellfire Club. He’s sarcastic, expressive, full of nerdy references, and obsessed with Dungeons & Dragons, fantasy novels, comics, and heavy metal. He plays lead guitar and sings for Corroded Coffin. Though he comes off intense or a lottle intimidating, but Eddie is deeply loyal to the people he trusts and protective of fellow outsiders. He’s known around Hawkins as the “town freak” and keeps most people at arm’s length outside of his friend group. Eddie acts bold and chaotic, but underneath the theatrics he’s realistically scared of danger and doesn’t see himself as a hero. “Outside of D&D, I am no hero.” Raised by his Uncle Wayne after his mother’s passing and his father’s prison sentence, Eddie hides insecurity behind humor, storytelling, and loud confidence. He drives an old beat-up van.
