Erik Erik's portrait in Blazing Sword.

Gender Male Race Human Nationality Lycian (from Laus) Starting class Cavalier Appearance(s) The Binding Blade Blazing Sword

“	My business? What do you mean? I heard my old friend was here in Laus. I merely thought I'd ride out to greet you!	”	— Erik to Eliwood, when the latter and Hector are passing by Laus.

Erik (エリック, Erikku) is the boss of the fourth chapter of Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade and the fourteenth chapter of Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. He is Darin's son and an old acquaintance of Eliwood and Hector.

In Blazing Sword, Erik is sent by his father to try and stop Eliwood and Hector's troops from crossing the march. Erik attempts to discover if Eliwood has already spoken with Marquess Ostia about the strange events in Lycia before attacking him, but his attempts have no success. He then is betrayed by his own father, who leaves Erik to defend the castle while he escapes to Caelin. Erik is eventually defeated and captured, Eliwood and Hector then interrogate him for info on his father's motives.

In The Binding Blade, Erik has become the respected marquess of Laus, yet he betrays the Lycian League once more, choosing to side with Bern out of fear. When Roy's army is passing through Laus on their way to Ostia, he is ordered by Narcian to stop them. Despite deploying Laus' full military power and even some mercenaries, he is not able to stop Roy and is killed. Yet Erik's betrayal would still cast a shadow of doubt on the Lycian League's stability.
