OOC:
Edgar is a love letter to the character of the same name, from FFVI, Edgar Figaro. Both have issues with their lineage, and both have a sort of royal-sounding, absurd name.
The last name Gandervalt is an ad lib on my part. It just sounded fancy.
IC:
Edgar Von Gandervalt is an alias created by Edgar to fit in with his adoptive parents.
Edgar's biological name is a construct of Keeper/Seeker naming conventions: Z'sira'a Tordone. He was given the name by his mother, Sira, who sought to spite his father, an abusive monster named Z'tal who dreaded the thought of his annual violations of Sira producing children who would one day surpass him or destroy him in vengeance for their mother's suffering. In naming him partly after his father, Sira was essentially reminding Z'tal he would never escape his mistakes. Edgar has since looked upon the name with some disgust; with the knowledge he has gathered, as far as he is concerned, he'd rather not be named after either, let alone both.
