biography.

Little is known about Stan's childhood, however by 1984, Stan Edgar was already known to have some influence within Vought. When Soldier Boy was recording a PSA for drug prevention, he asked who approved of the script, which prompted someone to mention Stan's name. Later that year, Vought America dispatched Payback's Supes to Nicaragua to aid the U.S. government in Operation Charly as an attempt to implement Supes in the military, and Stan Edgar accompanied them. While there, he gave Black Noir and the rest of Payback the green light to take out Soldier Boy and hand him over to the Russians, as Vought had found a replacement for him: a child more powerful than Soldier Boy, namely Soldier Boy's son, Homelander, which Soldier Boy had not been told about the existence of.

Within the following years, Stan rose to higher positions in Vought, and eventually became the CEO. In 1998, he adopted a 12-year-old supe girl named Nadia Khayat, changed her name to Victoria and erased all evidence regarding the murders she had committed with her powers. He raised Victoria teaching her to be cut throat and promised to always look out for her.

Stan Edgar was the one who would eventually introduce Homelander to the news, welcoming him as the newest member of The Seven.

Years later, as Homelander had risen to become the captain of The Seven, Stan Edgar approached Madelyn Stillwell at a company event, telling her that her budget for the Supes joining the army has been approved and that she would be getting a promotion. He told her to be very pleased with herself and walked away. However, unexpectedly, Homelander ends up killing Madelyn after finding out she and Vogelbaum had kept it a secret that Homelander had a child.

After Madelyn Stillwell's demise, Stan decides to step into the limelight and becomes more directly involved in Vought International and its assets. He continues the push for incorporating Supes in the military, holding a meeting with U.S. Secretary of Defense, Robert Singer, where Stan discusses the chain of command, secret designations for Compound V and logistics for collateral damage.

Sometime after Translucent's funeral, Stan hires Stormfront as Translucent's replacement in The Seven behind Homelander's back. Homelander confronts Stan about hiring her without consulting with him. When Homelander claims himself as Vought's most valuable asset and threatens to leave the company when his contract expires, Edgar proceeds to give a brief history of Vought's founder, Frederick Vought. Stan explains that Homelander is under the impression that they are a superhero company, when in fact they are a pharmaceutical company and Homelander is not their most valuable asset, Compound V is. He reveals that he is well aware that Homelander gave Compound V to terrorists around the world, which is threatening to cause a legal and PR disaster, and says that Homelander is neither as significant as he thinks he is, nor entitled to input on any decision regarding Vought or The Seven, before dismissing him.

Following the leak of Compound V to the press, Stan is questioned by a nervous Ashley about the authenticity of such revelations, to which he says the PR team is investigating it and orders her to keep the heroes grounded on the 99th floor until they have answers. The leak takes its toll on Vought's image and stock value, with the lawyers stating they could get arrested for over a dozen crimes. Stan, however, is unmoved, more focused on the news that a super-terrorist was spotted on the coast of New Jersey. He attempts to convince the Seven to help Vought clear up their image, only for Homelander to remind him that "they are not Vought", a reference to their earlier conversation. After Stormfront kills Kenji, and 56 people living in the projects, he holds a press conference, denying knowledge of Compound V, and claims he will carry out a full investigation into it. He blames it on Madelyn Stillwell and vows to get to the bottom of it. He introduces Stormfront as the savior of the day, and the crowd goes wild in admiration.

After Black Noir is able to find Butcher, following his breach of the safe-house where Becca and Ryan are kept, and is about to kill Hughie, Butcher reveals that he has incriminating pictures of Ryan's existence, and if he or any of his friends die, these pictures will be sent to Ronan Farrell, and expose Homelander as the rapist monster he is. Stan contacts him through Noir's phone, revealing that he saw the whole action unfold through a camera on Black Noir's suit, and questions the existence of these pictures. Butcher says he will have to play along and hope that they are not real. Stan makes his only offer: if he calls off Noir, the pictures will never see the light of day. Butcher agrees and Stan orders Noir to retreat.

Stan is later seen talking with Alistair Adana at The Collective's headquarters and discussing the return of Deep and A-Train (who, unknown to both, is listening to the conversation while hidden in a closet). He agrees to bring Deep but not A-Train, since he has to "please Stormfront". When questioned about Adana, Edgar reveals that he is aware that Stormfront was one of the first followers of his grandfather, back when the Collective was in its early days. Adana neither confirms or denies this, to which Stan says that the church's Internal Research Department knows very well about her past and why A-Train can't come back.

Butcher contacts Stan in order to find Ryan. They meet at an empty restaurant, where Stan is at first, unwilling to help him. Butcher reminds him that Ryan is his only contingency against Homelander, and it won't work if he is raised by him and Stormfront. He states that Stormfront is good at getting people angry and angry people are more willing to buy Compound V and increase stock value. Butcher reminds him of Stormfront's racist tendencies, and that he can't really control her, which leads to one of the few times where he shows to be really annoyed and angry, but Stan simply puts that "he can't just rage out like an entitled maniac. That is a white man's luxury." Stan agrees to send a team to give Ryan's location in order for a security team to take him and Becca to a safe location, but Butcher refuses to let Becca go and tells him to find a new mother for the kid and if Becca shows up begging to see Ryan one day, Stan should simply say that it is the only way to keep both safe from Homelander, and she will accept because a mother will do anything to protect her child. Stan agrees. Once Stormfront's past and ties to the Nazi Party are exposed, Stan holds a press conference, and she is blamed by the attack on Washington, and he informs that the release of Compound V to the Armed Forces has been put on indefinite hold.

Edgar is mentioned by Cameron Coleman on the show, both directly and indirectly. In the August 7, 2021, segment, Coleman reports Compound V has been halted for further testing. An audio of Edgar's voice addresses the aftermath of the product, saying the recent claims have been unfounded and promises that Vought will be committed and deliver the best for its customers.

Stan wants things at Vought to change- he no longer wants it to be all about the Supes, who require a lot of "handling", but rather about what Vought could do for the military with new technology such as V-24. He is starting to make moves to handle these changes. Stan also announces that he's thrilled about the Federal Bureau of Superhuman Affairs involvement at Vought, overseen by Victoria Neuman. They still have a close relationship and Stan often watches her daughter. At Vought, Stan decides to make Starlight co-captain with Homelander because of her wholesome and just appearance. He wants the image of The Seven to change.

To teach Homelander a lesson, Stan asks Victoria to make an announcement about how Homelander can't get away with anything. He suggests the FBSA slaps a few fines on Homelander and Vought to make an example out of him. However, when the time for the press conference comes, Victoria instead announces that Homelander has come forward as a whistleblower of crimes committed by CEO of Vought, Stan Edgar. Stan is shocked, and is forced to take a temporary leave of absence from Vought, to the pleasure of Homelander, who points out that such a development could easily turn permanent. Stan however warns Homelander that he's not going to like not having anyone to cover his tracks anymore.

Later, Vought officially announced that it would be severing its ties with Stan Edgar, supposedly appalled by his actions and praising Homelander for his bravery. Vought also announced that it would be conducting a thorough investigation into his actions. During The Cameron Coleman Hour, it was reported that classified documents containing proprietary trade secrets had been found lying around his vacation home in the Bahamas under a Singer/Neuman political ad. Vought International tweeted out the news on their official Twitter account. He appeared in the background of Victoria Neuman's Vice Presidency campaign while Victoria Neuman and Homelander were discussing Vought sponsorship of the candidacy.

Butcher and M.M. go to the prison where Stan is locked up. They offer him release from jail as part of an amnesty deal in exchange for helping them secure the Supe Virus. He agrees and takes them to his old farm, sure that if Victoria were to hide anything it might be there. He's right as they discover a lab and a bunch of Suped-up animals. Blood is everywhere and no one is to be found. However, Victoria promptly shows up and finds them there. M.M. and Butcher went back on their agreement and sent Stan Edgar back to jail because he didn't help them get the virus, however, Victoria kills the driver bringing him back, to help him escape from custody.
