Ventrue Erik Eigermann.jpg

Sobriquet: Herra Lorde

Appearance: Erik was tall for the era of his mortal youth, but he is about average among medieval men at five foot - ten inches in height. In no other way, is Erik average. Apparently Embraced in his late teens, Erik Eigermann has the body of a Olympic gymnast. Likewise he is blessed with a brooding angular face topped with a mane of coppery red hair. Erik wears whatever is currently fashionable when dealing with mortals, but when he is alone or relaxing he prefers to wear rawhide clothing lined or chased with animal fur. When seeking to look appropriately martial he will don armor and weapons, even though he needs neither to wage war and survive.

Behavior:

Childer: Ilse Reinegger (Deceased. Cause of death, diablerie by her progeny Gustav Breidenstein.

Sire: The Ventrue Antediluvian.

Siblings: Antonius

History: Not much is known about the past of this ancient vampire, but Eric ruled Gaul along his broodmate Antonius, before the Romans invaded their lands. Most likely after his brother departed to Constantinople, he traveled north and became the first known Cainite to reside in the area of modern Berlin - which was very sparsely populated in the Dark Medieval era.

Recent Events: From the shadows, he sways the balance of power in favor of Wilhelm Waldburg, keeping the tide of popular opinion towards his protegé in the battle against Prince Gustav Breidenstein.

Destiny: His open rule of the land ended in 1140, when Eric was hunted down and badly wounded by Karl Schrekt - who was still mortal, a demon hunter from Vienna. He's been in torpor under Berlin since then, influencing events in the city - and might be responsible for the Ventrue rule over that city.
