Third prince of Zilantos. Among his many brothers, Erik has the most battle experience. He loves fighting strong people, and seeks to add people with military talent to his retinue. Prideful and immature, he is prone to tantrums. He will not hesitate to use the least powerful among his soldiers as pawns, decoys, or living shields. Prisoners of war are frequently tortured and killed for his amusement. He is the very embodiment of the worst aspects of Zilantos culture.
