Biography[]
Early Life[]
Erik's parents were murdered by Sir Istvan Toth during a raid in Moravia, who took Erik into his retinue and became more of a father to him than his real father had been. Sir Istvan too had his parents killed by the Turks, so he spent his life trying to enact revenge, this being the reason he went into the service of King Sigismund of Hungary, partaking in the Nicopolis crusade. Erik learnt sword-fighting and became more confidant under Toth's tutelage.
Events of Kingdom Come: Deliverance[]
Henry first hears about Erik while interrogating Rapota in All that Glisters, during his search for information on the counterfeiters, although he doesn't know the mans name. Henry would later question Sir Jezhek of Ronow, who could tell you that his name was Erik, but scoffs at the idea that he's actually the one in charge. The Chief is someone else.
Sometime after that, during The Die is Cast, Henry attempts to infiltrate the bandits, and the recruiter Kozliek tells him about the camp at Vranik. Erik welcomes Henry into their band of brothers, and sends him for a sword fighting lesson with Vanyek. When Henry returns, he is horrified to learn that Erik is in cahoots with Istvan Toth, who he now recognizes is a traitor.
Erik and Istvan arrange to have Henry tied up and beaten, while Istvan tells him all about his plan to help King Sigismund conquer the region by undermining the local lords and terrifying the populace, ensuring he would be richly rewarded once Sigismund was the undisputed King. Istvan also reveals a secret that devastates Henry, and the two leave him alone to be beaten to a pulp by their lackey, Udo.
Unfortunately for them, Henry escapes with the assistance of Zbyshek, and returns the following evening with the combined forces of Sir Divish of Talmberg, Sir Radzig Kobyla and Sir Hanush of Leipa. The Lords of Talmberg, Skalitz and Rattay launch an assault on Vranik in Payback, but neither Istvan or Erik are there. Sir Divish realizes with horror that they have walked into a trap, and that the bandit army has infiltrated Talmberg and captured Lady Stephanie of Talmberg. In the ensuing chaos, Divish is shot in the arm, and Sir Radzig is taken prisoner.
Then, Erik returns as a commander in the battle between Sir Robard of Talmberg, Sir Hanush and the Skalitz men, led by Henry. When Erik's caught as a prisoner, Henry recognises him as Toth's captain and right-hand man.
Erik's interrogated by Henry and Hanush and he proposes an exchange of hostages, but the answer is negative.
Erik will be freed only after the Siege of Talmberg, when Lady Stephanie returns to Divish and Radzig is taken to ensure Toth's safety and released in Skalitz.
