<DIV STYLE="WIDTH: 400PX; TEXT-ALIGN: JUSTIFY; FONT-SIZE: 7PT; PADDING: 3PX; COLOR: #FBF5F3"><B>PERSONALITY: </B>Eric is shown to be calculating yet loyal and generally willing to absolve humans that aggravate him-unless they have grievously crossed him. His loyalty as progeny to his maker Godric was so strong, that he fell to his knees in tears when Godric decided to ultimately end his life by meeting the sun. Eric offered to burn beside him, since he claimed that he could not live without Godric.
<p>
.He has a great capacity not only for loyalty, but affection (considering vampire nature). Eric demonstrated this with his progeny Pam.
<p>
He has a deep attraction to Sookie Stackhouse and is willing to take her away from Bill at the first opportunity. A very calm, methodical individual, Eric is more in control of his emotions than Bill, and rarely loses his temper. When pushed, however, he has shown a great capacity for violence. Eric is unconcerned about being viewed as "the bad guy" merely seeing his actions as a means to an end. He is often secretive and can be somewhat of a trickster, but is honest and direct.
<p>
Eric is confident enough, that he doesn't think he needs to prove himself. He has a joy of living and a sense of humor uncommon for vampires.

</DIV>

<P>
<DIV STYLE="WIDTH: 400PX; TEXT-ALIGN: JUSTIFY; FONT-SIZE: 7PT; PADDING: 3PX; COLOR: #FBF5F3"><B>FAMILY: </B>ALL DECEASED</DIV>

<P>
<DIV STYLE="WIDTH: 400PX; TEXT-ALIGN: JUSTIFY; FONT-SIZE: 7PT; PADDING: 3PX; COLOR: #FBF5F3"><B>HISTORY: </B>Eric was a Viking, and used to play near the North Sea as a child. His father was a Viking chieftain (possibly a Jarl) and, although his father and mother wished Eric would chose a wife, he was more interested in enjoying the pleasures of unmarried life. One night while Eric was having sex with a servant, werewolves attacked their home killing his mother and baby sister. A werewolf managed to overpower his father, taking his crown.
It was given to a cloaked figure who walked off into the snowy night leaving Eric to tend to his dying father. Before Eric's father died, he declared Eric a king and made him promise to avenge his family.
<P>
Eric was wounded somewhere in Scandinavia and, against his wishes, his Viking companions decided to stay with him. They told Eric tales of glory and of women waiting for him in Valhalla. During the night, an unseen force murdered his comrades. A mysterious young, tattooed man appeared and introduced himself as "Death" to the dying Eric. Having seen Eric's strength on the battlefield, this boy, the 1,000 year old vampire Godric, offered him immortality through life as a vampire.
When Eric asked what he got out of it, Godric said "Life". With a lust for life for which he was renowned, Eric agreed and Godric turned him into a vampire.
<P>
During World War II, Godric and Eric posed as Nazi Schutzstaffel agents in order to infiltrate "Operation Werewolf". In 1945, they tracked a werewolf down to a house in Augsburg, Germany. The werewolf attacked and killed an American soldier before turning on Eric, but Godric stabbed her in the arm with a bayonet, pinning her to the wall.
<P>
Eric demanded to know whom her master was, but the werewolf said she would only tell them if Eric let her drink some of his blood. Godric was deeply offended by the idea, as vampire blood is sacred. Eric, however, did not care. He bit himself, and allowed the werewolf to feed from his wrist. She then revealed that her master is a vampire. Eric was shocked. The werewolf took advantage of his distraction, pushing Eric to the ground and attempting to stake him. Godric intervened and snapped the werewolf's neck.
<P>
Godric lectured his progeny about maintaining control of his emotions before promising to hunt the blasphemous vampire down. Shortly after this confrontation, Eric and Godric parted ways, and would not meet again for many decades.
<P>
Eric acquired the position of sheriff of Area 5 because of his age, his cunning personality and his ruthlessness. Eric has one vampire progeny named Pam who, like him, is incredibly loyal. Together they currently operate and own Fangtasia, a vamp nightclub in Shreveport, Louisiana.
<P>
Eric was introduced to Sookie Stackhouse when she came in with Bill Compton looking for information on a recent spate of murders in Bon Temps. It was Sookie's warning about a police raid on Fangtasia that caused Eric to become aware of Sookie's ability to read human minds. This intrigued him. ("Escape from Dragon House") He later called Sookie and Bill back to Fangtasia, wanting Sookie to use her powers to discover who had stolen $60,000 from his business. When Sookie questioned a glamoured employee, Ginger, it became clear that the vampire Longshadow, was responsible for stealing the money.
When he heard this, Longshadow attempted to silence Sookie by choking her to death, prompting Bill to defend her by putting a stake through Longshadow's heart.
<P>
Lafayette, Royce and others who had offended vampires, were chained up in the dungeon of Fangtasia by Eric and Pam. Eric later killed Royce when he tried to escape but spared Lafayette. When Sookie discovered that Eric had been keeping Lafayette prisoner, she demanded that he be set free. Eric agreed to do so as long as Sookie did something for him in return - a 2,000-year-old vampire in Dallas had gone missing and he needed her telepathic skills to find him.
<P>
Eric eventually admitted that the missing vampire was named Godric and that he was his "maker".
<P>
During an encounter with a human suicide bomber strapped with silver, Eric placed himself in front of Sookie, shielding her from the blast. He used this situation to his benefit by tricking Sookie into sucking some silver bullets out of his body, and, in the process, also drinking some of his blood. Eric and Sookie were now bound the same way she was to Bill. Bill explained that Eric could now sense and find her.
<P>
Sam sought Eric's help to find out what a Maenad was and how to kill it. Eric confessed he knew nothing of Maenads, but said he knew someone who probably did. Before exiting Fangtasia, Eric showed his fangs to Arlene's children which entertained them greatly.
<P>
While leaving, Eric displayed his ability to fly to Coby and Lisa. He traveled to the mansion of Sophie-Anne Leclerq , Queen of Louisiana.
He confronted Bill upon arrival, and Bill admitted knowing that Eric forced Lafayette to sell Vampire blood at his request. Sophie-Ann asked Eric how Bill knew he had humans selling V, Eric stated that Bill did not know that it was at her command. Sophie-Ann pushed Eric onto his back and told him that Bill better not find out or she would have Eric's fangs for earrings.
<P>
and Pam have auditions for a human performer for the club. After many ridiculous try-outs, Yvetta walks in and is almost immediately hired because of her sex appeal.
<P>
Eric is aware werewolves have kidnapped Bill. His prejudice toward a specific group of Werewolves stems from his family being murdered by a group of them, who were ordered by cloaked figure; which Eric discovers is Russell Edgington, the Vampire King of Mississippi.
<P>
His feelings and attraction to Sookie are also more apparent, as he begins to have daydreams of her. He arranges for Alcide Herveaux, a werewolf whose father has a debt to pay Eric, to help Sookie while she is in Jackson, Mississippi.
<P>
Eric continues to sell V for Sophie Anne. He receives a visit from her and The Magister.  They both inform Eric that they suspect a vampire in her majesty's kingdom is selling "V" to the humans. Days later the Magister's men ransack Fangtasia and find the V hidden on the premises; they take Pam captive. When Eric arrives, Pam accuses Bill of selling the V and the Magister gives Eric two days to bring Bill to him.
<P>
Eric goes to Jackson and makes a deal with Russell Edgington- in exchange for rescuing Pam, he would help him take over Sophie-Anne's kingdom.
<P>
Eric accompanies Russell when the King visits Queen Sophie-Anne's mansion. He physically coerces the queen to agree to Russell's marriage proposal, and locks her in a cage. The next night Eric brings Hadley in front of Sophie-Anne and threatens the  Queen, that unless she tells him why she is interested in Sookie Stackhouse, he will drain Hadley of all her blood.
<P>
The queen denies knowing anything about Sookie and Eric proceeds to violently feed on Hadley until Hadley gives in and tells him what he wants to know. Hours later Eric returns to Fangtasia along with Russell and Sophie-Anne, and reveals to the Magister that he sold V on the behest of the queen. After Pam is set free, they watch as Russell tortures the Magister into performing a marriage ceremony- Russell then beheads him.
<P>
Eric goes back to Jackson, Mississippi with Russell and Sophie-Anne. Eric stands in on the conversation that Russell has with Debbie Pelt about hunting down Sookie Stackhouse. After Debbie leaves the room, Eric warns Russell about killing off Sookie, saying that "bringing Sookie into this may not be the best idea". He also goes on to say that she is like any other human, ruled by petty emotions, therefore she is untrustworthy. Russell questions Eric's allegiance. Eric tells Russell that he has been searching for him, a true leader, for a thousand years.
<P>
He thought Godric was such a leader, but he became weak by his humanity and it ultimately killed him. Eric says that he supports Russell's decision to kill the Magister and that he believes Russell is just the vampire who should stand up to the Authority. To show his submission to Russell, Eric kisses Russell's ring. This is simply a charade; Eric's sole purpose is to retrieve his father's Viking crown, and get revenge for the death of his family.
<P>
During the day, Eric grabs Hadley in the hallway of Russell's mansion, and tells her to give Sookie a message. Later that night, Talbot and Russell argue, while Eric is present- Talbot throws a tantrum. He begins to break things that Russell has collected over the centuries. When Talbot grabs the crown that belonged to Eric's father, Eric stops him. Eric offers to keep Talbot company while Russell goes to Bon Temps to fetch Sookie. Russell and Talbot agree to this.
While Russell is gone, Talbot and Eric play chess but when Talbot loses, he shoves the chess pieces off the board and demands that Eric remove his clothes because he is bored. Eric admits that it has been a long time since he had done this, and Talbot assumes he means sex with a male, but Eric responds with "No, a vampire." They begin to kiss. As Eric positions himself behind Talbot, he tells him that Russell took his family and now he would take Russell's. Talbot, wide-eyed, gets staked by Eric.
<P>
The same night, Eric returns to Fangtasia telling Pam that he killed Talbot and that they need sanctuary- he is gripping his father's crown. Moments later, Nan Flanagan arrives to discuss the disappearance of the Magister. Eric gives a statement about Russell's plans and how he killed Magnus. He also tells Nan and the Authority about his family's death and his wish to get his revenge. Nan informs him that he and Pam cannot leave Fangtasia until the Authority decides what to do with him and the information he provided.
<P>
Eric does not rest during the day and when Pam wakes up, he assures her that he will take all the blame. He adds, that in case he dies, Pam must become a maker. Nan informs him that the Authority has denied all knowledge about his statement and the ruling itself. She then states that he can take his revenge on Russell although without any support from them.  Eric soon realizes the only way to get Russell to trust him again, is to offer Sookie as a gift.
Being a Fae, her blood is rare and valuable to vampires. Eric brings Russell to Sookie's car- stopping it instantly. They bring Sookie and Bill back to Fangtasia- where they both feed from her. With Sookie's blood enabling them to walk in the sun; Eric proceeds to exit Fangtasia. With Russell watching and realizing on the security monitors that Eric can freely walk in the sun's rays, he joins him outside.
<P>
As Russell joins Eric, he quickly handcuffs the King to himself; preparing to meet the sun with the vampire who killed his human family over 1,000 years ago. Sookie wakes after drinking from Bill and realizes what Eric has chosen to do. She decides to save him.
<P>
Sookie drags Eric back into Fangtasia and feeds him her blood. Once he has regained his strength he tries to go outside for Russell- yet Sookie retrieves him instead. Eric, Pam and Bill slumber during the daylight hours, as Sookie guards a silver-bound Russell.
<P>
After Sookie leaves Fangtasia, Eric, (with the aide of Bill), bring Russell to a construction site owned by Alcide's family. Once there, they entomb him by covering him with concrete. Double-crossed, Eric is thrown into a nearby pit by Bill, and is covered in concrete as well. Later Eric shows up on Sookie's porch. He is covered with wet cement after being freed by the help of his progeny Pam. He finally spills the beans about Bill, informing Sookie that he only came to Bon Temps to learn more and investigate her, on behalf of the Queen, Sophie-Anne.
<P>
He also informs Sookie that Bill let the The Rattrays attack her to the point of near death- knowing she would have to drink his blood to survive.
<P>
Eric is first seen waking from his daily slumber, as Sookie arrives back from Fairy Land. After night fall, Eric appears at Sookie's porch. Bill is also there, and Eric begins to have words. He claims that everyone who has loved or claimed to have loved her, abandoned her- except for himself. Later, Eric creates an ad commercial for Nan Flanagan. A few nights later, Sookie is leaving her shower when she spots Eric in her home. Eric tells Sookie he now owns her home and Sookie as well, adding: 'Sookie, You are Mine!'.
<P>
After a while he had became dazed, and confused he became to the point that he can't remember his own name or anything that had happen to him. He was very much had been walking around shirtless and barefoot with jeans on around the road. He had heard someone say eric its me. He just looked blankly at the person. Eric was very much amnesiac that his personality changed.</DIV>
