History[]
Edward Hogger is a silent member of Blazer's Scouts under Captain Richard R. Blazer and a protagonist of History Civil War: Secret Missions. As the only named protagonist of the game, Hogger was first introduced as a member of the Jayhawkers nicknamed "Eric". Before the Civil War, Hogger had interest in becoming a writer, but unfortunately became embroiled in the conflict. He later made a name for himself bushwhacking Confederate soldiers in Missouri. Captain Richard Blazer later discovered his skills and reputation and invited him to become a member of his scouting unit.
As a Blazer Scout, Hogger had a major participation in the infiltration and destruction of Jackson, Mississippi during the Battle of Jackson. The Mississippi capital was the primary manufacturer of materials and resources for the Confederate military, and its destruction was of utmost importance for the Union. Union General William Tecumseh Sherman sent out his army to capture Jackson, but before that a specialized group of men were tasked to get inside the city and weaken its defenses. Hogger's history prior to this battle is unknown, but he is noted by Union generals for being an excellent shot and his ability to infiltrate enemy territory. He was one of those handpicked for the campaign. Hogger had to fight through Confederate defenders and blow up key artillery positions. His efforts led to the capture of Jackson, Mississippi. The Blazer's Scouts would continue performing missions for the Union, including an attack on Lewisburg, Greenbriar County.
