Eric Horrible

## **Early Life**

Born in a whaling town called Sandefjord, Eric did not cry when he was born. At birth, his own mother nicknamed him "The Horrible", partially due to his looks, but also because she wanted him to strike fear and intimidation onto anyone who would dare to oppose him. His mother was a firm believer of not raising any of her children up to be soft. Eric spent much of his childhood protecting his mother having to be the man in the house, as his father was absent.

### First Marriage

When Eric turned 17, he married the love of his life Cathrine, who he loved dearly. Cathrine was also the most beautiful women he had ever seen, they lived happily together for 6 years until Catherine died a mysterious death. Eric does not like talking about her, and little is known to the public as to why he chooses to remain silent about her passing.

### Second Marriage

Eric turned to drinking and was constantly drunk for the next 9 years. Eric met Freya Hafrsdottir who he married while being an alcoholic. Freya did however, get tired of Eric being constantly drunk, and forced him to sober up by watering down his alcohol. Eric did not realize at first, but as time passed he started seeing Freya for what she was; a nag and a half with a horses face. Eric eventually had enough and told his wife he was going fishing. He went down to the docks where he knew most of the people working on a whaling boat, and asked if they can drop him off in Denmark.

### Leaving Home

Once Eric arrived in Denmark, he turned to drinking again, but eventually grew tired of not understanding Danish. He grabbed a case of beer and a few bottles of whiskey, and claims he stole a canoe while drunk as a skunk. Eric had plans to head back home, but a storm hit the waters and derailed him towards the Atlantic Ocean. Eric survived on raw fish, beer, whiskey and oceanwater for the entire trip. Eric claims he fought sharks with his bare hands, but this should be taken with a pinch of salt. The claim that he came all the way from Europe on a canoe is also controversial, but not entirely impossible, as Eric comes from a long bloodline of Vikings.

Eric eventually ended up in America at Flat Neck River where he started making his way up the river. He made a knife out of bones and wood which he had learned from his grandfather who taught him to survive in the wilderness. Eric made his way up the mountains in the Grizzlies where he made a camp at Cairn Lake. Cairn Lake was ideal for Eric, as he thrives in the cold winter elements. Once settled in, he made his way to the town of Valentine, where he got to know the local population, including forming relationships with the natives of the Wapiti Tribe.

### Lemoyne Fucks

Eric did however, grow tired of the crimespree and not being able to do anything about it. Eric can survive in the Grizzlies on his own, but also enjoys the company of others. He therefore started moving his camp down to Lemoyne, where he applied for a position at the Lemoyne Sheriff Department. Eric was handed a badge and picked up the good fight. With good leadership he thrived in a brotherhood who excelled at stopping crimesprees, eventually forcing criminals out of the state of Lemoyne.

### Gangs in Lemoyne

During his tenure as a lawman in Lemoyne, Eric and the rest of his department had cracked down on crime, excelling in bankrobberies, drugsales and keeping gangs from taking over Saint Denis. The Bear Brothers, who relied on intimidation, tried multiple times to intimidate Eric and the Lemoyne Sheriff Department, making empty threats that if they arrested some of their boys, they would not take kindly to it, and consequences would occur. The Bear Brothers however, was chased out of Lemoyne and was never to be seen again.

### Ravens

Responding to drugsales and muggings in a pattern Eric had dubbed "The Triangle", Eric was staking out the town of Van Horn with an Assistant Deputy when he witnessed a female suspect mugging the local residents of Van Horn. Eric, along with his Assistant Deputy at the time, swiftly apprehended the female suspect, but suddenly took incoming fire from the local residents of Van Horn as they tried to kill the female suspect he had apprehended. Eric had to defend his suspect who was hogtied from incoming fire. His Assistant Deputy however, was gunned down and needed medical attention. Eric only had one horse available and stowed his Assistant Deputy on his horse and proceeded to carry the female suspect back to Rhodes. Eric was however, held at gunpoint just on the outskirts of Rhodes by one of her accomplices and had to let her go. The accomplice was later known to be Victoria Weaver.

A few days after the incident in Van Horn, the National Bank in Saint Denis was being robbed, and Eric was on the chaseteam. During the chase, he arrested one of the female suspects, which ironically was the same suspect he had apprehended in Van Horn, who went by the name of Judy Raven, a horsetrainer who consequently lost her job as horsetrainer due to her involvement with robbing the National Bank. However, the vault was not broken into and thus the robbery was a failed attempt. The following day however, the National Bank in Saint Denis was robbed again. This time, most of the same suspects from the previous day, but with the addition of Valerie Eugene. During processing, Eric asked Valerie what went wrong the previous day. Valerie spilled her guts and explained they couldn't get into the vault. Due to her self utterance, Eric also charged Valerie with felony charges from the previous day.

### Saints

As time passed, a gang who went by **"The Saints"** were making their presence known throughout the country. Their notorierity grew as they turned to kidnapping, torture and even murder. Towns were on lockdown as they would target anyone who stood in their way, specially lawmen, doctors and members of the DOJ. As the gang grew more notorious for every day that passed, every department in the country were on high alert and had warrants out on most of the members from "**The Saints".**

Judy, who had changed her last name from Raven to Kiramman, was apprehended and kept at Sisika Penitentiary where she was to be held until trial and undergo psychiatric evaluations.

### Judy's Prison Break

During a trial of Pepe Silva, where Eric was the arresting officer and had to testify in court, WESO Sheriff McDermot and Ivan Kiramman bursted through the doors while the trial was going on, alerted everyone that Judy is being broken out of prison. Itching to respond, Eric was ordered to stay for the trial, and had to face the fact that a alledged member of the most notorious gang he had ever come across, is at large. Judy was never to be seen again for years, and all members of "The Saints" kept a low profile for the years to come.

## Ruthless

A new chapter, new beginnings. After a few years with no sign of Judy and her affiliates, Eric had put down his badge and returned to a nomadic life. While strolling through Saint Denis one morning, he came across Victoria Weaver and started talking. Victoria told Eric she has turned a new leaf, has become a law abiding citizen and was on her way to apply for the Sheriff position in Saint Denis. Knowing Eric from the past, Victoria persuaded Eric to put his badge back on and help her build the department. Eric agreed over a drink at La Bastille, and went with Victoria to the SDPD where he was hired on as a Undersheriff.

Victoria and Eric now work closely together with the intent of cleaning the streets of Saint Denis. Victoria has even told Eric they are now buttcheek buddies.

### Saint

Eric has previously never met "Saint" herself, but was recently kidnapped in Valentine and brought to the casino boat in Saint Denis by "Saint" herself. At the boat he also met Jones Retford, Julia Boucher and one other female accomplice. Julia was thought to be dead after Eric was a part of a firing squad a few years ago when Julia was sentenced to death. Eric did however, pull one of his deputies off the firing squad for mocking Julia before the execution. Because of this, Eric believes this is why they only broke his right hand and let him go, as opposed to being tortured and kept for days, like most of their victims.

##### Notes

Eric's hair is permanently damaged from the countless storms he endured during his trip across the Atlantic Ocean. Every time he removes his hat, someone comments on his hairdue, telling him to put on some pomade or get a haircut. Eric has tried using pomade but it has no effect, he also refuses to cut his hear more than twice a year. Someone also once asked Eric if he identifies as a hedgehog, he does not. Eric believes everyone is making fun of him out of jealousy.

Eric has named his horse "Freya" after his 2nd wife due to the resemblance of their facial structures. At least he gets to ride his horse around and have fun with her, unlike his 2nd wife who he claims have a horse's face.
