Edgar Allan Poe is a member of The Guild in the Bungo Stray Dogs universe, notable for his ability called "Black Cat in the Rue Morgue" (though often adapted or associated with his literary works). His ability allows him to pull readers inside the novels he writes, making him the absolute master of those fictional worlds where he can manipulate the rules at will. Physically, Poe possesses a gothic and pale appearance, and he is almost always accompanied by his pet raccoon, Karl. Socially, he is introverted, shy, and avoid scrowds.
