Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age
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 would flee the Sniflheim region out of shame, and take to a life of robbery in order to sustain himself. During this period he would meet Derk, and the two would become successful partners in crime. At one point during this period, Erik would meet The Seer. The mysterious prophet proclaims that if Erik were to infiltrate Heliodor castle and steal the fabled Red Orb and meets with the Luminary "underground", then he would find the forgiveness he longs for. Erik doesn't believe a word of what is told to him and instead only steals the orb because it was a treasure Mia once longed for during their childhood.
Erik hides the orb with Derk after the heist and is later captured, spending nearly a year in the castle dungeon while slowly digging a tunnel through the bottom of his cell. It is during this period where he encounters the recently imprisoned Luminary and, after realizing that the Seer's prophecy is coming true, pledges his loyalty to the man and aids his escape. After a frantic flight from the Heliodor guards led by Hendrik, the duo escape through a teleportal to the distant city of Hotto and begin the adventure to reach the World tree in earnest.
When Erik and the party go to Sniflheim to retrieve the Blue Orb, Erik will become distant and quiet. In Party Chat he will offhandedly state that he and his sister grew up in the area, but will offer no elaboration. After the fall of the World tree at the end of the first act, Erik is captured by one of Mordegon's Spectral Sintinels, Indignus. He awakens in a cell with a healslime, who had soothed his injuries while he was unconscious. Making a swift escape, Erik takes the healslime with him and avoids detection by the dragon monsters under Indignus' employ. During this sequence the healslime will speak of things that Erik has not told him of, such as his name, the past of his sister, and his journey with the Luminary. When cornered by Indignus and facing death, the healslime revels himself to be the Seer and offers Erik a fighting chance to save his life: exchange his most precious possession for a tremendous, temporary boost in power. Erik agrees and fights his way through the horde to escape, but at the cost of his memories of Mia and his friends.
- This scenario is only present in the S: definitive edition of the game.
The amnesiac Erik is latter found stowing away on Sylvando's personal ship in order to steal food. The party is shocked that he does not recognize them, and assure him that hes hasa place to stay until his memories return. A priest in Sniflheim remembers Erik from years before, and tells the party about Erik's previously hidden past. Hearing this overwhelms Erik and he leaves as his memory struggles to return. Erik then returns to hut he and his sister grew up in, and discovers that Mia has been freed by Mordegon in order to put her greed and anger to shame as one of his Spectral Sentinels: Gyldygga. With the help of the Luminary, Erik frees his sister of Mordegon's corruption and finds the atonement he was looking for. Erik wants to stay with the Hero to defeat Mordegon.
When the party finds the orichalcum in the floating Battleground, Erik rushes past the group and gets carried away thinking about the value of the gem. he excuses himself for the outburst, stating it was a force of a bad habit.

Trivia
- Erik is the second major Dragon Quest character to be depicted as left-handed after Angelo of Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King. 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 favoring his left hand to use or hold everyday items.
- Erik is also the second ex-thief to join as the first party member of a game, following Yangus.
- Erik's hairstyle is very similar to that of the sixth Hero, and this is brought up when the party visits Weaver's peak in the Echo Chamber.
- Erik has the most amount of costumes available among the male party members, due to the option of having his hair exposed or covered.
