Erik

Bio
Erik Eickhorst was quite young for a dockhand, but you wouldn't know by looking at him. At 16, he shaved his head to look older, which combined with a full moustache at a young age, seals the deal.

Erik worked with his uncle and friend Josef on the docks in Carroburg. After an incident with some arrogant traders attempting to swindle his uncle, and a few arms being broken as a result, Erik was forced to move on from Carroburg in a hurry. Though the consequences of said acts would be more likely to attract the ire of the Stevedore's Guild over the guard, who tend to let the docks handle their own affairs, the young man thought it best to err on the side of caution, and spend a few days away from the city.

Though his future with the Stevedore's Guild of Carroburg was not necessarily in jeopardy, after the brief stint working for the thieves' guild of Bogenhafen, Erik is reconsidering his future. After defeating a few individuals in tests of physical strength, and holding his own against the champion wrestler Crusher Braugen despite his broken leg, Erik has seen the value of applying his strength and natural affinity for fighting in ways that will lead to fame, or infamy, and fortune. The thrill of fists swinging, grappling foes into submission and the adrenaline rush that comes with it proved far too alluring to conceivably aspire to a future in lifting cargo to and from ships. Instead, the young man is eager to see where his muscles and cunning can get him.

After some time spent in Delberz, another encounter with the infamous Crusher Braugen taught Erik some more tricks, including how to invalidate any opponent's reach with a weapon.
