History:
Born on the moon Freya, he spent most of his younger years in the wilderness assisting his parents with their animal reaserch. Aquiring a vast knowledge of survival, tracking, and general field craft. As a rebelious teenager he was often found causing trouble in a near by settlement with other teenagers, or off galivanting in the bush with a neighbors daughter. It wasn't until the our break of the of the Unification War that he found his true path in life, At the age of 17 he joined the Alliance military ( Having a relative in the administrations office of his settlement falsify his age to 18 ). In nearly every aspect of military life Eric excelled, his upbringing in the wilderness of Freya, had given him above average fitness and strength, all the skills he had learned in the forests he simply adapted and applied to Allaince Military life. In the early years of the war, Eric found himself on the frontlines during minor skirmishes and battles. A few months before Eric was successfully inducted into the Allaince Military Special Ops Unit. His first action with special ops at New Kasmir, were he distinguished himself as a capable operator, comfortable with acting seperately from his squad. During the fighting he and his unit had successfully infiltrated behind Independant lines, to disrupt enemy communicating and logistics operations. Eric's objective was to silence an Independant Observation post. After dispatching the three independant soldiers, he rejoined his unit which had set explosives across a supply depot, and communications gear. During the Spec. Ops. unit extraction the Brown Coats began to catch on, and opened fire on Eric and his unit as they were slipping back through the lines. Despite a number of casualties to the unit, the mission was a success. For the following years of the war Eric served with skill and cunning, that made him stand out from his fellow soldiers. During the last two years of the war, he found himself thrust into the world of military black ops. He simply didn't exist to the rest of the 'verse, he became a shadow. Slipping in unnoticed, and eliminating his targets, befor eslipping back out again. He earned a reputation with his superiors for being cold, and calculating when under pressure. It wasn't until the war ended and Eric found himself suddenly with out use, with no war to fight the Alliance Military had no use for men of his caliber. So he turned to the private sector for employment, hiring on with ANS (Aqua-Negra Seguridad) his resume assured him a hefty wage, and access to equipment not availiable to the more grunt level security officers. Eric now found himself in an entirely world, gaurding Alliance and corporate officals, working descreetly against terrorist/ anti-alliance cells, and guarding private and government facilities. It wasn't until one job went sour and a number of civilian casualties occoured. Dissatisfied with ANS response to the situation by means of bribary and extortion, Eric ended his career with ANS, to begin working as a freelance mercenary he literally take any job as long as it complied with his own set code of honour and morals. Between jobs he finds himself drifting from world to world, even taking places on ships crew when no other work was avaliable. His military skills, and general physical strength make him ideal for work with cargo, as well as less "polite" business ventures.
