Encyclopedia
Nasedo aka Edward "Ed" M. Harding is a fictional character from the television series Roswell
, portrayed mainly by actor Jim Ortlieb, although also by many others whose form he "shapeshifts" to.
from the planet Antar, he came to earth in the 1947 crash. His supposed job is to protect the Royal four who are Max Evans
, Isabel Evans
, Michael Guerin
and Tess Harding
. However, out of the four he only raised Tess, who has honed her alien powers more adequately than the rest of the aliens. Nasedo's main power is shape-shifting into anyone and that power becomes useful for the group many times.
At the beginning, Nasedo's behavior toward the royal four is not so transparent and instead of protecting them he ends up leading them to danger. The most memorable example is in the episode "Max to the Max", when he assumes Max's form in order to take Liz
and use her to get Pierce's attention on him. The real Max, trying to protect his girlfriend, gets captured by Pierce and the FBI.
Nasedo is not really their protector like he said at the beginning. In the episode "Departure", Tess reveals that Nasedo made a deal with Kivar 40 years earlier to return home with a son from Max and to deliver Max, Michael and Isabel to Kivar, whose intentions are to kill them to eliminate any trace of the royal four.
