==Biography==
===Early life===
Erke was born in Lunden during the city's occupation by the Great Heathen Army. His father Bodil served as the city's jarl and was known as one of the "Great Jarls of Lunden". Bodil was able to outlive the two jarls largely due to his efforts as a peacekeeper. Some years later, Erke became an orphan after losing his father and brothers to a plague.Assassin's Creed: Valhalla
By the early 870s, Lunden came to be governed Tryggr, a former Viking who served alongside Ubba Ragnarsson. Erke came to work under Tryggr and through him, met and befriended the Saxon Stowe. Sharing a similar upbringing with Stowe, who was raised by priests, Erke formed a close bond and eventually a romantic relationship with Stowe, which they hid from the public. The two worked as the city's reeves, with Erke looking after the eastern half of the city while Stowe took care of the city's western half.Assassin's Creed: Valhalla– Walls and Shadows
