## Biography

In 2019, he was contacted by Eva, who presented him with her discoveries around the Spiral Symbol. From that moment on, the Project HC began to be modeled and began on October 7 of the same year in the city of Carpazinha.

Eric documents the trajectory of the research and implementation in a journal whose pages are later found by Team H in the course of investigating the agents. On one of these pages, there is a document that reports the initial shock with the Haunteds gang, to the failures and successes of the team in the search for sources of Potential Energy to feed the project.

However, after the success of the team of scientists in creating a new civilization similar to the one found on the island Heilag Vagga, the other scientists chose to abandon the research and force the future of this society into ignorance due to the strong control that the Dimensions Parasite brought by them was able to exercise under them. Only Eric Jour resisted this influence and confronted his colleagues, claiming that he was going to expose the project to the Ordo Realitas, but ended up having his tongue cut out and his sanity compromised when he abandoned Holy Cradle incapacitating him from far away from Santo Cradle as he would be completely hypnotized by the Dimensions Parasite.

The man was visibly frightened and was carrying a sheet of paper that the investigators forcibly took from him. The paper appears to be a set of sentences written by himself, with the word "*Cave*" appearing over and over again, in sentences that reveal that Eric would still be trying to distance himself from the influence of the cave, a clearly difficult task. for his compromised mental state.

While the investigators were recovering from the first wave of attacks from the Haunted from the outside and trying to find out what exactly was going on in that house, Eric escapes through them and opens the cellar door that was located behind the bookcase - previously locked - with a key. by chains and a padlock, entering the darkness of the compartment and freeing the Black Death Carrion, who kills him.
