Talents/Skills: He is a skilled swordsman and talented in wood carving. He is also talented in playing the violin/fiddle, as well as the bagpipes.
Appearance: His skin is tan, he has toned muscles and large biceps. His hair is a bit scruffy, sometimes covering his neck, though he keeps it cut when he can. He has a beard and mustache, giving him a "ruggedly handsome" type look (his hair/facial hair is dark in color, a brown that is nearly black). He has chocolate brown eyes and a charming smile (he's also of a bigger build, but attractively big, and not at all fat, but muscle).
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 176 lbs.
Outfit(s): When he isn't wearing his brown pants and tunic, he's wearing his big and bulky, yet fairly lightweight, armor with a helmet; he's often seen in his armor, as he is the queen's bodyguard (his armor will be shown below after "Crush/Relationship Status").
Weapon(s): Eric owns a halberd, a one ball flail war mace, a regular mace, a bow and quiver of arrows, and two swords.
Alliance: His queen and the kingdom.
Family: His only known family is his 9 year old boy, Alexander (nicknamed Alec). He considers Gideon family and sees him kind of like a son; he even lives with him and Alec.
Friends: None- though he's become pretty good friends with the queen, Lydia (who belongs to CommanderDiamondShot), her daughter, Atarah, and one of the knights (the knight also belongs to Diamond), Gideon- as well as Armond, the queen's son.
Enemies: Any enemy of his queen is an enemy of his.
Personality: Eric can be gruff and a bit grouchy, but only if the other knights and, as he says, "young fools", can't take their job seriously. When on duty he's serious and will do anything to protect his queen. When off duty, he is then able to let loose somewhat and joke around with the guys. He is kind and caring, and he's always a gentleman, as he has his own moral code he tries to live by, to always be a gentleman to ladies. He refuses to fight a woman unless he has absolutely no other option and must to defend himself, the queen, the princess, or an innocent and defenseless person, children included. He's especially a gentleman around the most beautiful woman he's ever laid eyes on; the widowed queen.
Worst Fear(s): Failing at protecting his queen.
Weakness(es): His queen and the princess.
Temptation(s): Allowing his eyes to wander. He has trouble when the women don't always dress appropriately but, because of his code, he forces himself to keep his eyes off. When looking at a woman, he does his best to keep his eyes on the woman's face.
Background: He doesn't share any of his past with anyone, and his background is a little shadowy. He was once the king of his own kingdom, but he was overthrown by a rival of his and exiled. His own people betrayed him and agreed with their new ruler on everything. He had become king when he was fourteen, as both of his parents died of an unknown and foreign disease. He remained king until he was thirty three, then he left with his newborn son (when he was forced to leave and after his wife and daughter were killed) and found the kingdom he currently lives in. The former king to the queen he loves knew him, so he made him the bodyguard for her. After the king's death, he never left the queen's side, determined to keep her safe from all harm.
Other: He was married at one point in time, and had a daughter, but both of them were killed by his rival when he overthrew him.
Crush/Relationship Status: The queen.
