He is only seen animated once, in a short OAV promoting Gundam SEED Astray and SEED-MSV model kits. In this, he is seen battling ZAFT forces, and MBF-P03-2 Gundam Astray Blue Frame Second pilot Gai Murakumo. He is later seen in Gundam SEED Destiny Astray, where he pilots a GAT-X133 Sword Calamity mobile suit for the United States of South America against other Earth Alliance pilots, such as his former lover Jane Houston and combat instructor Rena Imelia.

He was born in C.E. 43, and by 28, he became a fighter pilot for the afore mentioned U.S.S.A., but was later integrated into the Earth Alliance's military when the Alliance conquered the U.S.S.A. He has earned the nickname "Ed the Ripper", when he sliced an EWAC DINN in half using his fighter's wing, and every time he comes back from battle his mobile suit or fighter is covered in oil. He dislikes the nickname, for under the flight suit and combat experience Edward Harrelson is a kind and gentle man.

He first pilots a F-7D Spearhead atmospheric fighter, then a GAT-01 Strike Dagger general purpose mobile suit. Then he pilots a GAT-01D1 Duel Dagger heavy artillery mobile suit. He later pilots a GAT-333 Raider Full Spec atmospheric mobile suit. After that, he pilots the mobile suit that makes him a legend, a GAT-X133 Sword Calamity close-combat mobile suit that is based off of the GAT-X131 Calamity Gundam. He paints it orange, with a rose and two swords that make a X ontop of the rose on the left shoulder. He is the first pilot ever to use the "Schwert Gewehr" anti-ship swords to slice off a warship's bridge, as he once did on a Nazca-class destroyer. He later becomes the most prominent member of the U.S.S.A. rebellion against the EA after the war ended. Several aces were sent after him, including Morgan Chevalier, Rena Imelia, and Jane Houston.
