Erik Red

Erik Red is a player character in Samuel Clements and the WIldwalkers. He is played by Geoffrey. Erik is an Earth Genasi Ranger and Warlock. He loves surviving in the Wilderness, and absolutely loves snow. He always prepares excess food for journey due to his past.

His real name is Eerik Rehn, however after escaping from slavery he changed it to Erik Red to throw off slave hunters.

Personality
Erik always thought carefully of what should be done in the current situation. He always thought realistically, and in tactical situations if something were to arrive during the battle, he would never count on that support. He prepared everything needed for a long journey beforehand, gathering and preparing food, water, blankets, surveying the landscape ahead and always looking outwards. He absolutely hated staying indoors and would camp outside even when others would pay for an inn. He speaks with a western accent.

Background
Born and raised in Klaatismiur it was a requirement in my village to learn how to survive and brave the cold quickly. Instead of wearing cloaks, we wore heavy winter blankets, and thought out our travels and how long they would take beforehand.

However, tragedy soon struck as famine struck our nation. My family, our family had been starving. There wasn't enough wildlife as industrialists had slaughtered them by the thousands, and we were banned from hunting them, although we still did. So, my family scrounged out whatever money they could, and at the age of 10 sent me on a ship to America, the Land of Dreams. I was stuck on that barge for a month, in the ending weeks of November, and arrived around January, I think. I developed claustrophobia while on that ship.

I arrived in New York, the snow falling around me. Accustomed to it, I didn't really know what to do, however I was ridiculed for my skin color. I ran southwards, and would soon prove to be the greatest mistake I've ever made, probably. I wasn't aware of the atrocities of the south at the time, and became enslaved by the slave master Emmerich Manuel. A ruthless, white bastard who beat and whipped us many-a-times, immediately sending us back to fields. I escaped around the age of 25, after spending about 13 years as a slave.

A friend of mine, Rorschach, another Earth Genasi and fellow slave escaped with me, and we ran west. He was caught, I was not. I followed the man hunters to where I became scarred from the death of my friend. He was hung, as an example and the men specifically addressed me when they were hanging him. After that, I decided a foreign name like Eerik Rehn would become noticed when mentioned, so I changed my name to Erik Red, and adjusted my accent to become more western. I ran further west for a few years, until I came across a man who asked me if I needed friends and work.

I ended up in the Organization that way, by a man in priest's clothes asking me that simple question, and I agreed with him. Turns out I was, and am very experienced in backdoor infiltration, target removal, and intelligence acquisition.

Achievements
He was the Commander and Tactical Advisor for the defense of the Battle of Mercy.

He single-handedly took down an Owlbear, without it ever sensing him.

He established espionage and infiltration unit; The Wild Hunt, which rivals The Organization to the modern day.
