## Official Description

* Mission Civilis
* Viking Guide

"**Eret is the sword-slashing and proud prince of Maltosa.**"

"Now a former proclaimed "dragon trapper", Eret is trying to get used to being on Berk. He seems to be getting the hang of the viking life, the only thing missing is the once great relationship he had with his sister. Ashley looks down at him in shame for his actions, be he is trying to make it up to her, even if she avoids any and all contact with him. He will do all in his power to make things right."

**Eret, Son of Eret, 25, is the self-touted "Greatest Dragon Trapper Alive", selling a steady supply of dragons to the toughest customer of all — the ruthless Drago Bludvist.**

*Cocky and charmingly cavalier, Eret has the showmanship of a cowboy and the shady ethics of an arms dealer. His rugged good looks and brawny physique appeals to Ruffnut's innermost desires — which turn out to be quite shallow. But despite his boastful, brash charisma, Eret lives in endless dread of Drago's merciless wrath, and will do anything to save his own skin.*
## Physical Appearance

Eret is a young man with light skin, brown/black hair, brown eyes and a traditional blue tattoo on his chin.

## Personality

Eret, who hails from a powerful and well respected monarchy, initially comes across as nothing short of cocky and overconfident. He only appears to care about the protection of his people, his family and his younger sister, Ashley.

However, in the second film, he turns cynical and self-centred, trying to save his own skin and resisting Stormfly's attempts at bonding with him. All of this, beside his falling out with Ashley over her relationship with Tuffnut, changes as soon as Stormfly puts herself at risk to protect him from harm. Recognizing the dragon's selfless act, Eret decides to repay the favour by helping her and the Dragon Riders escape from Drago's ship. He decides to accept the vikings, allying himself with Berk. This indicates that Eret was always a good, brave, and honest man, but also a warrior at heart with a strong moral compass.

In spite of his cavalier façade, Eret is rather charming, heroic, and kind-hearted. He is also fully aware of his rugged good-looks, displaying a slight arrogance on occasion, but still doesn't appreciate Ruffnut leering at him. He seems to only bond closely with Hiccup or his youngest sister, Astrid.

## **Abilities, Skills, and Talents**

Eret as a warrior and swordsman like his father, his advanced skills then the average human.

* **Dragon Training and Riding**: Eret is very new to the concept of Dragon Training and riding. As such, his skills are understandably not extremely impressive. Nevertheless, he rode Stormfly quite decently for a beginner and didn't show to have any specific troubles riding Skullcrusher either. He did struggle to control the Scuttleclaw he was riding, but so did everyone else. During the Series, he is trained under Ashley and learns quickly.

* **Intelligence**: Eret being a Maltosian, is smart and knowledgeable. He's mostly quick to come up with tactical ideas, mostly those designed by Ashley or Hiccup and can detect his enemies, as seen in The Search for Eret Part 2, when he suspected someone was on the Fort.

* **Strength and Fighting**: He has been shown to be skillful enough in fighting and knocking out Drago's men, Calder, and the people of Nepenthe who tried to harm the Foreverwings.

* **Swordsmanship**: Eret, being one of many in his family to wield swords, is a professional in sword fighting. Mostly being able to take down his enemies with fast and powerful blows with his sword.

* **Endurance and Stamina**: He was able to take the attack from Gobber's weapon to the head that clearly didn't knock him unconscious, as he tries to get up, but Grump was able to pin him down. Eret is also quick on his feet, before he can be attacked. As shown in Sibling Sib-sension, he can go toe-to-toe against his younger twin sister, Ashley, however, she was able to overpower him. which in turn had him defeated miserably and embarrassingly.
