*The thing he wants most at the moment is a treasure map left behind by a legendary pirate.

*Erik's height is 165 cm or 5' 5" and he weighs 55 kilograms (121 lbs). He is insecure of his height and chugs milk in an attempt to grow taller, seen in his [[shypox]] lines.

*Erik is the second major ''Dragon Quest'' character to be depicted as left-handed after [[Angelo]] of {{~~Dragon Quest VIII~~}}. Single weapons are always held in his left, while his dual-wielding skill makes it clear that his left hand is dominant. In addition, many cutscenes showing him favouring his left hand to use or hold everyday items.

In addition, many cutscenes showing him favouring his left hand to use or hold everyday items.

*Erik has several homages to previous {{DQSeries}} games:

**Erik is similar to [[Yangus]] of {{~~DQ8~~}}, being the second ex-thief in the series to join as the first party member. Furthermore, they both have soft spots for a certain person close to them ([[Mia]] and [[Red]]), bicker with a cursed person ([[Veronica]] and [[King Trode]]) and seek atonement for past actions.

**Erik's hairstyle and general appearance is very similar to that of the sixth ~~{{Hero 6}}~~, and this is brought up when the party visits [[Weaver's Peak]] in the [[Echo Chamber]] of [[Tickington]], where he comments that people there kept on looking at him strangely.

**Erik and the Hero escape captivity by jumping off a cliff, like how the {{Hero 5}} and [[Harry]] does in {{~~DQ5~~}}.

**He teams up with a [[healslime]] during his time travelling alone, like [[Ragnar]] in {{~~DQ4~~}}.

**He teams up with a [[healslime]] during his time travelling alone, like [[Ragnar]] in {{Dragon Quest IV}}.

**He sacrifices his memories in exchange for great power like [[Terry]] does in {{~~DQ6~~}}. [[Indignus]] and [[Dhuran]] look similar as well; however, while Erik wants this power to defeat Indignus, Terry exchanged the his memories with Dhuran.

**He sacrifices his memories in exchange for great power like [[Terry]] does in {{Dragon Quest VI}}. [[Indignus]] and [[Dhuran]] of their respective games look similar as well; however, while Erik wants this power to defeat Indignus, Terry exchanged the his memories with Dhuran.

*Erik has the most amount of total costumes available among the male party members, due to the option of having his hair exposed or covered.

**Counting variants of a costume as the same one, Erik has the least out of any party member.

*Erik is the only party member to initially join the party for not-entirely-selfless reasons.

*Despite Veronica insisting that Erik lost the mixed martial arts fight in Octagonia against [[Jade]] and [[Rab]] due to being distracted by Jade's allure, the real reason (outside of plot relevance) is likely because Erik's skillset is more suited towards heavy set-up for immensely impressive returns. However, in an MMA competition, Jade's fast-paced consistent damage output would have had the upper hand against him.

*Before the Luminary goes [[Time travel|back in time]] in the postgame, Erik will consistently mention that the party should go south of [[Octagonia]], even after most emotional scenes. In the original Japanese version, it translates roughly to a very simple "Let's go south of Octagonia", which became a running gag with the Japanese community. The only time Erik does not have this dialogue is in Sniflheim and the Viking Hideout, where another character instead ~~has this dialogue~~.

The only time Erik does not have this dialogue is in Sniflheim and the Viking Hideout, where another character takes on this role instead.

*Erik is capable of the most damage in the game without hacking, where a [[glacial golem]] at the [[Sniflheim Whale Way Station]] can occasionally use [[Forbearance]] alongside six [[luminous lampling|luminous lamplings]]. Erik can then use [[Double Down]] on the golem.

*Erik is the only party member that is able to have both hands deal the same amount of damage in battle, through unlocking the [[Dually Deadly]] secret panel in his ''Swords'' skill tree in his character builder, which is available after saving Mia in Act Two and after talking to Elder [[Eegoltap]] in postgame.
