Erik

"You think we're still in school? Well, let me give you an education! First, you will fall, and then Hector. Pherae and Ostia will be crushed beneath my boot!"

- Erik when battling Eliwood in Chapter 14 of Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken

Erik (エリック, Erikku) is the son of Darin and later the marquess of Laus. He was jealous of Eliwood and Hector due to not being able to match them during their school days. It is from him that Eliwood learns of Darin's dealings with Ephidel and Lord Elbert's connection to the rebellion. Twenty years later, during the Bern invasion of Lycia, Erik once again turns traitor, and is killed by Roy's passing army.

Erik is the boss of Chapter 4 in Fūin no Tsurugi, and Chapter 14 in Rekka no Ken. In Rekka no Ken, Erik carries a Silver Lance that he will drop when he is defeated.

Eliwood vs Erik
Eliwood: Erik! Stop this nonsense. I've no wish to strike down a fellow classmate.

Erik: You sentimental fool! You think we're still in school? Well, let me give you an education! First, you will fall, and then Hector. Pherae and Ostia will be crushed beneath my boot! Soon, all of Lycia will be under our control!!!

Hector vs Erik
Erik: You've always been... an eyesore to me. No matter how hard I tried... You two garnered all the attention...all the praise. In the classroom... on the training grounds... Everywhere and everything!

Hector: Erik. You always did care more about appearances than ability. If you'd had even a hint of skill, perhaps you'd--

Erik: Hold your tongue! I will hear no more! No more!

Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi


In Fire Emblem: Fūin no Tsurugi Erik appears in the beginning of Chapter 4, speaking with one of Bern's Wyvern Lords, Nacien. They discuss an arrangement that involved Clarine, who Nacien was fond of.

Upon hearing that Roy and his forces were approaching Castle Laus Erik mobilized his forces and launched a defensive attack on the group to prove his worth to Bern as an ally. Erik's forces were defeated however, and he was killed defending Castle Laus's gate.

For some reason, Erik has grown weaker during the 20 years between Fūin no Tsurugi and Rekka no Ken. This could be attributed to his age or lack of continuous training.
