Eddie Thawne (Rick Cosnett) is a supporter of the Flash inside of the Central City Police Department, the partner of Joe West, and Barry's friendly romantic rival. He is later mentioned by Eobard as a distant relative, thus explaining why he was spared by the Reverse Flash: Eddie's death would cause Eobard to cease to exist. Due to Barry and Joe's suspicions of Wells and Iris' investigation of Mason's disappearance, they decide to reveal Barry's identity to Eddie so he can help them take down Wells and keep Iris safe.
