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.
[edit] Biography
Nasedo is an alien shapeshifter from the planet Antar, he came to earth in the 1947 crash. His supposed job is to protect the Royal four which are Max Evans, Isabel Evans Ramirez, 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 "pod squad". Nasedo's main power is shape-shifting into anyone and that power ends up coming in handy for the group many times.
At the beginning Nasedo's behavior toward the royal four isn't 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 attention on him (Pierce was the head FBI agent of the 'Special Unit'). The real Max, trying to protect his girlfriend, gets captured by Pierce and the FBI.
Nasedo isn't really their protector like he said at the beginning (or at least, he doesn't want to be one). In the episode Departure Tess reveals that Nasedo made a deal with Kivar 40 years ago to return home with a son from Max and to deliver Max, Michael and Isabel to Kivar whose intentions were to kill them to eliminate any trace of the royal four.
