Because of Gankutsuou, he is afflicted with an odd condition which causes his body to be crystalline, revealing his bones and internal organs. In exchange for the strength and means to gain revenge, he allowed the cold-blooded demon to possess him.
Edmond was imprisoned in the Château d'If on false charges, and it was there that he met Gankutsuou (known as The Ruler of the Cave in Animax's English adaptation). The Count's previous identity was Edmond Dantès, a sailor who worked for the Morrel family's shipping company.

The anime's plot includes supernatural elements, different fates for some characters, the disposal of several side-plots, and an altogether different ending. In the novel, the narrative arc follows the Count chronologically in the anime, the story begins with Albert and Franz meeting the Count on Luna (which occurs, in Rome, many hundreds of pages into the book), and the Count's back story is pieced together throughout the series. The general plot of Gankutsuou, while broadly the same as the novel on which it is based, changes many aspects of the source material. After he arrives, he introduces himself to the most powerful families in France (the Morcerfs, the Danglars, and the Villeforts). When they part, the Count promises to visit Albert in Paris. While visiting Luna for the festival, Viscount Albert de Morcerf and Baron Franz d'Epinay make the acquaintance of the Count of Monte Cristo, a self-made nobleman. The story takes place in the far future of the 51st Century, during the year 5053.
