Erik is an orphan from the [[Sniflheim]] region, with his only family being his younger sister [[Mia]]. The siblings were taken in by the vikings that pillage the area and forced into servitude. Erik and Mia depended on each other to survive their difficult youth, with the latter developing the same sense of materialistic greed that her masters did. During his teens, Erik would make the disastrous mistake of giving Mia a necklace rumored to have the power to turn anything the wearer touches into solid gold. Mia runs wild with this power and turns everything around her into gold, even animals, which activates the necklace's curse and begins to transformer her as well. Mia cries out for help as the changes take place, and Erik hesitates before attempting to save her. Though he could have done nothing to prevent the curse for taking hold, and it being likely that he would have been transformed as well if he had touched Mia during the process, Erik blames himself for the apparent death of his little sister. | Erik is an orphan from the [[Sniflheim]] region, with his only family being his younger sister [[Mia]].
