|-|Abilities=
*Gunfighting: While Erron does lack a formal fighting style and his martial art skills are subpar compared to other fighters in his verse, Erron compensates his inelegant, dirty, and awkward fighting style for his excellent marksmanship and gun fu. Erron is in his element when he wields firearms that he can use in both melee and ranged combat which makes him deadly from any range.
*Skilled Weaponsmith: The Italian proverb "He who is of the craft can discourse about it." applies to this marksman, except his discourse is done through lethal action from his tools. Not just a gunslinger who uses many weapons, he also makes weapons of his own. Ranging from improvised weapons taken from his surroundings and makeshift weapons held together by rope, cloth and leather to finely crafted and well functioning weapons, his selection of weapon recipes is only limited by his skill and creativity.
