Biography
Background
Eddie does not reveal too much of himself during the game. The only thing that he confirms as truth is that he is married and has kids and is doing this kind of job to get money to send them to college. He says this at the end of the heists The Jewel Store Job and The Bureau Raid. He also wants money to leave the life of crime. His appearance at the Fleeca Job reveals he's been working with Lester for a while along with Paige Harris and probably Gustavo Mota.
If Eddie is chosen for The Jewel Store Job, he will bring MaibatsuSanchezs, making a lot easier to drive through the sewers and he'll also give directions while escaping the police.
In The Bureau Raid, roof method, if selected he will reach the IAA Headquarters just in time in an ambulance, allowing the player to get out of the area without needing to lose the police.
In the subtle approach of The Big Score, if placed as the fourth driver of the Gauntlets, he will be able to load the Gauntlets without dropping any gold bar and during the escape, he will have no problem to escape the cops and bring his part of the gold to the trucks. If placed to change the tires of the Stockade, there will be no consequences.
In the obvious approach, if he is placed as the pilot of the second helicopter, he will reach the train with no problem, as long as Trevor keeps his helicopter steady so Lester can shoot down the MerryweatherBuzzards before they destroy his helicopter, killing him and making the crew lose half of the gold. If placed as the driver of the train, there will be no consequences.
Though it is never explicitly stated, it is possible that Eddie had done something questionable before joining Michael's heist crew. Evidence of this is that when the player first chooses him, Lester may say "Eddie Toh? He's a professional. That's all you need to know," indicating that he is hiding something. Later during The Jewel Store Job, when all heist members reveal their past to one another, Michael speaks instead of Eddie and says "Eddie's been doing this for years. That's all you need to know about him for now". This is confirmed by his appearance as a getaway pilot for the Fleeca Job that they've been acquainted for a while.
