Erik Anwir

"[How do you like your eggs?] With the dick"Erik is a Rivaini merchant and one of the player characters in season 3. He joins the party after being given a mission to follow some gold that's being transported by Emily. 
== Background ==
The Anwirs had just enough money to buy a small house (extremely plot convenient) and got a job at an inn. They slowly but steadily earned some money, and when Erik was five they moved to Llomerryn. There, he had been spending most of his time watching the merchants
do their thing. One day, Erik offered his help and the merchants decided to mock him by making him sell an empty bottle, which Erik actually did by breaking it and crafting a necklace. The merchants then realised they could make use of the elf. At first he did that for free, but then they decided to give him a silver for every customer he got them. It wasn't much, but for a
five year old with no concept of money, it was pretty cool.
When he was ten, he confronted his parents about him being adopted. Thomas and Helena looked surprised and asked how he knew that. Erik said something like "because none of you is an elf. And both of you are white". Thomas confirmed it, but decided to completely lie about what happened (or tell the truth, from Helena's perspective). Erik was told that his parents were too poor to have both him and his twin brother, so they agreed to put for adoption the younger one. He was told that his real name is Walter Istario, but his parents couldn't remember Maolen's name. Erik was confused, but he'd chosen to forgive his real parents, as he understood that what they did was because they loved him.

Meanwhile in Antiva, Sandia and Hildak realised that Maolen couldn't be a rogue to save his life. They really tried to guide him and teach him the art of
stealing, but it'd just result in him getting hurt. Fighting didn't go that well either, but they loved him anyway. And it wasn't just "we love him because he's the only son we have left", they really wanted to give him a
better life. So they aimed to steal some money to send him to university one day, and everyone knows how that turned out.
At 15, Erik started to sell his own stuff. He never stole though, as he thought it was immoral. He wanted to achieve something because he worked for it, not due to luck. His mentality was going to change drastically by 20, when he met a nice orlesian and helped him study arts in Orlais. There, he became familiar with some of the orlesian culture (especially bards), and he also met a lot of people.
After finishing his studies, he realised how much he loves travelling and being a merchant. So he goes back to Llomerryn and keeps selling stuff until he feels like he has enough money to invest in seeing the world
