Edward "Ed" Boone is the recently promoted New York regional manager for Primatech Paper, working directly underneath regional supervisor, Rainer Madson.
Which in practical terms means that he's a very bad man with a gun. He works directly underneath Rainer, and it is rumored that he's been Rainer's protege since he was recruited into the Company.
History
Excerpted from the Company's employee dossiers.
Agent Boone, Edward. Born low-income in Cleveland, Ohio. Formative years marked by several misdemeanor offenses; record now expunged. Graduated Penn State University, class of 1997, bachelor's in sociology. Attended FBI Training Academy at Quantico, Virginia in 1998.

Service Duty Notes: Agent Boone, Edward has on six occasions been commended for excellent service above and beyond the call of duty; injured in the line of duty on four, returned to full active duty within three months on each.
Psychiatric Evaluation Notes: In contract to subject's excellent service record, evaluation indicates steadily increasing instability and dissatisfaction. Recommend mandatory vacation time; subject's records indicate that he has nearly six accumulated months of paid leave unused.
Subject's work ethic is also questionable; lacks known family, significant other, etc. to use as leverage, and has not indicated particularly idealistic or nationalistic motivations in employment. Subject's loyalty to Agent Madsen, Rainer may outweigh loyalty to Company itself. Keep under advisement and observation.

Trivia

- Reportedly has very odd tastes, and has been caught in the break room at the Kirby Plaza building watching soap operas and reading trashy romance novels.
