Character's name: Lord Erik Caldlow
Character's age: 26
Character's attitude: Cruel and unkind, Erik is spoiled and ruthless. He cares only for power, wealth, and position. He hates the new Empire as it has taken away much of the prestige his family once had during the reign of Galbatorix.
Character's Race: Human
Character's appearance: (Clothes, hair, face, etc.)
Character's allegiance: Shade Uprising
Weapons: The Caldlow family longsword and shield.
Other Info: He is an identical twin and favored more by his family.
History: Erik was born in the noble line of Caldlow during the reign of Galbatorix. His family was a well known and infamous supporter for the former king - they thrived on the sufferings of their subjects and helped fund the king's troops.
Grown in this atmosphere, Erik was taught that he was superior than those around him and that power and wealth were the true path to success. As Erik grew, he became more and more spoiled, yet charismatic in his personality - able to gain and achieve anything his young heart desired. However, once the King was dethroned, their family's power was reduced and decimated (in Caldlow's eyes) in order to help in Queen Nasauda's new reign.
It was by grace that their family was not reduced to peasants, but the slight had caused a stain to fester within this pride family and they would openly bombard the Queen and her allies with complaints and gossip (while in the shadows they would do whatever they could to thwart her power - through any means). Though, most of their evil acts were unproven, it is known that the Caldlow family was not one to take lightly in the Empire.
Reputation was power, and Erik was known to sacrifice everything for power - including his own twin brother. Born as the younger of the two, Erik was immediately the favorite, for his brother, Jacob, was born with a facial disfigurement. Due to his elder brother's face, Erik was pronounced the future heir, and Jacob was disowned. However, the family mage convinced Lord Caldlow to make Jacob, Erik's future protector, for he sensed great magic within the disfigured babe. And so, Erik grew into the role of the future Lord Caldlow, whilst his unknown twin grew to be his protector.
Now, Erik is an avid supporter for the Shade Rider - though unproven - as he secretly sends her supplies, equipment, and information. In return for his services, he demands that his family be risen in power, wealth, and status when the Shade Rider claims her throne.
Role Play Sample:
Erik sneered at the peasant beneath his boot. "What filth is this? Beggars at my door?" He pressed his black boot down further onto the man's neck. "Do you presume to think you have the right toward my money?" Erik hissed out.
The old peasant gasped out, trying to speak, but could not.
"What's that? I can't seem to hear you? Does your kind know not how to speak?" He spat out, clearly angry and disgusted.
"Please, sir! M'lord, have mercy!" The beggar finally managed to gasp out.
"Mercy? You call upon mercy? You, who are below dirt? You think you have the right to call upon such mercy?"
"Mi'lord, my family is sick and starving...if you could just spare...Aghh!" Erik's boot dug deeper.
"Filthy rat! I shall kill you where you lie!" Erik reached for the pommel of his sword, but a quiet voice spoke.
"Please Lord Caldlow. He is not worth your time." A cloaked figure behind Erik spoke, his features unreadable from his cowl. "Let the rats deal with him, else you be late for Lady Margaret's dinner party."
Erik paused. It was a bit troublesome to go and get blood on his fine suit, not to mention, being late for the party was improper. Erik released his hand from his sword. "Very well, you are right. Let us go." He released the old man from his weight and marched forth without a second thought. "You are always the sensible one, Jacob. What would I do without you, hmm?" Erik declared, sensing his twin brother following behind him as they made their way to the upper districts of the city.
