Deputy Edwin Durland is a dimwitted, incompetent policeman in Gravity Falls, Oregon, and Sheriff Blubs' deputy and right-hand man. Deputy Durland likes to engage in comfortable games and activities together with Sheriff Blubs, and both are more preoccupied with those than their work as police officers. They avoid their responsibilities to goof off or fall asleep in their police car. Multiple times they have ignored crimes that happen right in front of their eyes, but Durland shows more enthusiasm for dispensing justice than his partner. Loud noises and shiny things tend to draw his attention and he is prone to repetitive self-stimulation that he then focuses on. He has fun with maze games aimed at children but has trouble solving them. When confronted with stressful situations he becomes alarmed and copes with emotional outbursts and occasionally screaming and sprinting into walls.
