The interesting thing about seeing people discover Ed Gamble through Taskmaster is that some look at his desperation dedication to win, judge him by his general appearance and interactions with Greg and the rest of the cast, and pass him off as some stereotypical, overbearing "jock" character, when in reality he's a type 1 diabetic, asthmatic, ex-goth kid who used to collect salt and pepper pots and geodes, who dislikes sports partly due to bad school experiences, who loves food, heavy metal, comic books, board games, his wife, and his cat that he's allergic to, and who's talked openly about his mental and physical struggles with losing weight and managing his type 1.
I dunno, I just find it funny when I see people describe him as "a high school bully" or a "hostile competitor" when he's clearly just an over-excitable, super massive TM nerd whose dream was to be on the show and make love to some hummus.

"You may own my soul, but I ain't your fucking pet!"
He complains about how “everyone wants to bitch to the bartender" but he actually loves that the others all trust him enough to confide in him.
While touch might make him purr, Husk's love languages are actually acts of service and words of affirmation.
Husk actually really does want Charlie's redemption plan to work, and if it does, he really wants to believe that he would be able to get redemption himself… but he knows Alastor would never allow it and if he's honest, he doesn't believe he deserves redemption. He plans to stay at the hotel as long as Alastor will let him to hopefully help Charlie lead others to the redemption he can't get himself.
He's actually a really good cook when he's drunk, but he can't cook for shit sober.
After selling his soul to Alastor, Husk developed a fear of chains because Alastor often dragged him around on one to try to break him out of the idea that he had a say in what his life would be from then on. Even when not wielded by the radio demon himself, they terrify him, needless to say whips and chains do not excite him.
Fat Nuggets follows Husk around. The little pig absolutely adores the demon cat who pet sits him when his owner is out and sometimes he sneaks into Husk’s room just to sleep on his bed. They’ve learned to check Husk’s room first when Angel can’t find his beloved piggy pal.
Husk’s mother was a drunk and his father was a gambling addict. His mother taught him how to take shots and his father taught him to count cards and rig games.
He doesn’t wear a shirt with his suspenders because when he arrived in hell, he couldn’t get used to the wings and it was uncomfortable having them stuffed inside his shirt, but he hated trying to maneuver them into the holes in shirts made for demons with wings.
He spawned into hell naked. His suspenders/pants were stolen from a demon he found passed out in an alley because, despite being a cat, he felt uncomfortable naked.
Husk still feels uncomfortable completely naked
Despite being a hell cat, when he was alive, he wasn’t a cat person or a dog person. During his time living, Husk kept birds and often went bird watching when he was sober enough to enjoy it.The one upside Husk found to his new demon appearance was the avian aspects of it.
The one bird-like thing he cannot stand is the molting. He thought the fur was bad when he realized that he shed a little bit, but when he began to mold, he absolutely hated it.
His bowtie and hat are like a security blanket, he refuses to go anywhere or do anything without them. He refused to leave his room when Niffty accidently took his bowtie when getting his dirty laundry for laundry day.
On top of purring and shedding, Husk has a few other feline traits…. One of the ones Charlie tends to find the most adorable is the is the fact that he purrs and he can occasionally be caught napping in sunny spots
Niffty is the only one who knows it, but Husk has a bit of a sweet tooth, she often bakes little treats and snacks and candies on his bed when he seems like he’s having a bad day. Husk enjoys the little treats but he isn’t great at showing her that he appreciates the gesture.

Something Charlie has yet to see is the fact that Husk does that little ‘making biscuits’ thing in his sleep when he’s really relaxed. It doesn’t happen often, but Angel has caught it on video once when he found Husk asleep while watching Fat Nuggets…. Husk doesn’t know about this yet.
