Edo Macalister (エド・マカリスター, Edo Makarisutaa; "Ed Macalister") is a character in the video games Flower, Sun, and Rain: Murder and Mystery in Paradise and killer7. In his first appearance he is the manager of the Flower, Sun, and Rain hotel and is responsible for drafting searcher Sumio Mondo to Lospass Island, in order to deter a potential terrorist attack at the airport. Macalister is the author of The Lospass: Official Guide Book, a tourist's guide to Lospass Island. It is later revealed that Edo is actually the terrorist himself, though it is Sundance Shot who is placed the bomb on the plane, as Edo intends for the bomb to explode the island. Edo's plan is to stop the production of Silver Eyes. During killer7, the 36-year-old Macalister is later shown to be working at the reception desk of the Union Hotel.

Edo Macalister is voiced in killer7 by Robin Atkin Downes. He appears to have been voiced for Flower, Sun, and Rain as well, however his voice, as with all other characters, is riddled with distortion, and no voice actors in the game are given credit.

Personality

The morning after meeting Macalister, Sumio Mondo observes that the hotel manager is too caught up in his work, surmising that he also has a suspicious laugh and his eyes never appear to match his expression, concluding that "He's got a hidden side, that's for sure." Nevertheless, Mondo contends that Macalister knows how to treat his guests. In the third chapter of the game, Macalister proves himself a very knowledgeable soccer enthusiast. In the chapter's epilogue, he even makes a quirk that soccer fanatic Stephan Charbonie "still has much to learn about the game. He doesn't know what the real spectacle is..."

In killer7, Edo maintains his enigmatic nature, alluding to knowing who Garcian Smith is, as well as vanishing when he's not being looked at. Edo's place in the plot of killer7 is unknown.

Trivia

• His last name is shared by both researcher Graham MacAlister and baseball player McAllister from Hand in killer7 and Diabolical Pitch, respectively.
• The name Edo Macalister would more naturally be spelled Ed McAllister in English. The unusual romanization seems to be a stylistic choice, possibly to create a more mysterious-sounding name.
