This could make for an interesting recurring villain. A knife that continues to find and strengthen a succession of bad guys, with the players not realizing right away that it is the weapon which is the real enemy.
I really like this. There are enough little details about Edgar to highlight his personality and how he has responded to adversity.
Possible plot hook: Edgar is wrongfully imprisoned. He fully expects to be exonerated, but only after his trial, which will be in about six months. How can he prove that keeping him locked up will only spell disaster for the locals?
Excellent. The important members section adds a nice level of depth. This situation creates the perfect level of tension for a great story or campaign arc.
Good points to keep in mind.
"Fools Rush In" is a particular weakness of mine and something I fight against (trying not to go too far in the other direction where I get so lost in the details that I lose that initial excited energy.)
Even though my focus right now is on pure fantasy, your work is so evocative that it makes me want to read through all the Locastus subs.
There are so many ways the mayhem these critters cause could bring about difficulties and misunderstandings, that they are sure-fire conduits to adventure.
This sounds like an item that a thief wouldn't want to boast about - I could see it making the rounds as each successive thief steals from the last. Probably why the thief was sitting alone.
I like this item and can see a few ways of using it in my own game.

Nice. I do enjoy elemental creatures and powers and this delivers, while also adding in characters that feel rage, loss, pride, and love.
My favorite part is the Fury Invoking Mantle: The wielder is not immune to this blast, and as such it is only ever used once. Then the sword gets a new bearer.
A sword that can vaporize its wielder in a suicide attack has crossed over into a new class of uber. :)
