DESCRIPTION / DESIGN NOTE
If you haven't already guessed, Eric is a cheap copy of Elric of Melniboné. Early on, he was part of an evil party of three: himself, Obbinjar and Palantino. Unfortunately, he didn't survive that part of the campaign, in that he died in flames when they torched a town. In the Falkirk campaign, I've relaunched him as the disgraced, exiled prince of the island empire of Manwë.
