Once a great adventurer. However, he became lost in the maze of Zagor years before and barely escaped with his life. He gave up his adventuring ways and journeyed from Allansia across the Oceans to Khul to retire. Thinking that the Affen Forest had stood for thousands of years undamaged and unchanged he chose that as his home. However, unluckily he found that his hut was engulfed soon after by the blight of Ishtra. He was gradually driven mad. However, when Ishtra was defeated, Eric recovered in tandem with the recovery of the forest.
