A final scar is the unpleasant bite mark across his right leg, from a Demon deciding he shall be his next meal.

Personality

Alignment: Lawful Good (Follows DnD Paladin Code)

Eric is a very open minded, quite neutral person. He goes by his favorite quote, "Do not draw arms and strike at me, and I will call you friend... Strike me, and I will defend myself." He is a bit 'odd' for a Paladin, he tends to be wary about Warlocks, but he learns more about them before he labels them evil. He is very kind, honest, and polite, he is generally calm and hard to anger.

History

Eric lived within the once beautiful bustling town known as Grand Hamlet (or Darkshire, now), he and his brother were raised there due to the recent invasion upon his home, Goldshire. A mere one year old, he was clueless to all that has happened. His father was a Knight of the Horse, who were sent to defend Stormwind, and Goldshire. Unfortunately a large number of them were slain, Eric's father being one of those. His mother grieved, but managed to continue and care for her youthful children.

Eric over the years grew, now he was five years old and his small family moved back to Goldshire. Goldshire was still being rebuilt as they went back, but his mother did not mind as she preferred home. And so Eric grew up amongst the construction, dedicating that he in time wanted to be helpful like them but in his own way.

While Eric was eight, his twelve year old brother begun to work in the forges. From time to time Eric would help him as well, later at the age of ten his mother had passed to illness. This left a broken hearted Eric and Johnathon unsure of what to do. However John figured he'll have Eric help him work at the forges, so they can stay close. Eric with little argument, agreed to work alongside his only family left, his beloved brother.

This continued until Eric was fourteen, and Johnathon eighteen. John realized that neither have gotten any serious education, and so he gathered a large sum of their money and enrolled Eric to be educated at the Church. And as they promised, with the amount he gave them they'll transfer him to the Cathedral of the Light. This was being built within the confines of the city's ruins, as well as the rest of Stormwind. John told Eric what he had done, and Eric was extremely upset with John. Not once had Eric wanted to leave his brother's side, and it frustrated him that John did this - And so after their bitter conflict, Eric left so he could get away from Johnathon.

It had been two years since Eric had parted ways with John, who was upset that he had ruined the relations between his brother and him. John for two years had enrolled into the Army, wanting to defend the homeland from any possible threat. Stormwind was declared officially finished, and so a huge flow of people were herded into the city. Eric was amongst them and swiftly brought to the Cathedral, where his education would continue further.

Eric was sixteen now and was not only be educated, but he also chose to start becoming a Paladin. He was educated, and trained at equal intervals and bit by bit forged into a Man of the Light, A Holy Warrior, to the beloved Light of Mankind. John had during Eric's ten years of training, been deployed to Stratholme in attempt to save it - His division, however... Was ambushed as they marched, and horribly slaughtered by the undead known as the Scourge - Terrified and moral broken, his comrades tried to flee as what few who held their ground like John tried to survive. All were slaughtered however, none survived the attack.

Eric was now twenty six, and immediately was sent to the Draenei people to help them. He got along with them extremely well, since he was a Holy Man like many of the Draenei. He did this for a year before he was deployed to the front finally, the Dark Portal has once again opened - Spewing the Demons of the Legion once more, and once more did Man and it's Allies fight back. And so they were pushed back, and through the Portal a new Expedition was formed. For a year Eric fought in the Outland, helping those he can and attempting to mend what he could.

Eric was now twenty eight, and after a short break was redeployed to Northrend. A new army was being sent there as Arthas was once more awake, and had terrorized people of both Horde and Alliance. Here he learned that the Horde were not his enemy, but his allies upon the field and so he fought alongside them in the Argent Crusade for three whole years of brutal warfare.

Thirty one now, Eric has returned home exhausted and victorious. More often than not he is humbly residing in Goldshire, easing his tired mind and body and telling tales of his past - But with the new Cataclysm occurring, he just might have to march upon the fields of war once more to combat Deathwing, and his minions.
