Edgar Marlene Rourke (B. April 7th 1957), known simple as Edgar was an American banker, creditor, and criminal. Edgar was part of the Duluth Branch Scandal as a major function of the DICE Banking scandal where the Duluth Branch was part of a money laundering scheme involving the North Eagles. Edgar's was the most involved of the Duluth Branch employees, and was involved with several murders that occurred in Canada.

Edgar was born in Kinross Charter Township, Michigan to Rich and Meredith Rourke. Edgar was considered a delinquent despite living in a relatively depopulated area. Edgar later attended North Illinois University and majored in economics. He later moved to work at Sterling Heights, Michigan under Dutch Interstate Commerce as a employee in their Sterling Heights branch. He worked under the wings of a banking executive Keith Williams and alongside another member of the Duluth ring, Morris Elaine. Edgar would later be promoted as an executive within the Duluth Branch working under Emmanuel Dibrom. Morris was passed for a promotion as an executive but joined Edgar in Duluth, and moved to Duluth, Minnesota.

Edgar became involved in the Duluth Ring Scandal when he was introduced to Damien Lawson, a lieutenant of the North Eagles chapter in Minnesota. At this point, both Emmanuel and Morris were deeply involved in Damien's illegal operations including peddling drugs and money laundering. Much of the money laundering went through a shell company called Meredith Commodities Incorporated. Edgar soon became more involved in creating a more elaborate money laundering scheme. When the North Eagles and South Vultures engaged in a turf war, Edgar became personally involved with the violence perpetrated by the North Eagles.

Edgar was later captured alongside Morris after committing the murder of Elisa Donovan and Liam Jenkins in Unorganized Rainy River District in Ontario.
