Biography
Erik was born to Yrsa Kvalheim and Tristan Drage in New Zealand. Yrsa, being part of a strongly matriarchal magical family, wanted nothing to do with Erik and handed him over to his father to raise when was a very young infant. Tristan, despite being a healer, was a career criminal, and not exactly parental material.
Erik was then raised by his father's lover and long-time sweetheart, Morgase Prince, until she was murdered by her ex-husband. One of Erik's earliest memories was of watching Morgase standing over her cauldron and brewing potions.
After Morgase's death in 2020, Tristan and Erik moved to North America and went into hiding. Tristan finally settled down with Julie and they moved to northern Canada, giving Erik a stable home.
Erik attended Ilvermorny and is still stunned that he graduated. Since then, he has worked as a freelance potioneer and takes pride in what he does. To help pay the bills, he has also picked up an assortment of odd jobs. Erik tends to move on a whim and has lived in different cities around the globe. However, he has never been particularly well-off (or financially sensible) so he lives on a shoestring budget. He is a serial flirt and it is rare for him to maintain a romantic relationship. Erik's philosophy is to enjoy life first and be responsible later (or never.)
Erik is especially close to his stepsister Eliza, his younger brother, Christian, and his sister-in-law/best friend, Teuila Faumuina. Erik was very close to his stepmother Julie, who passed away in 2051. He is also close to his siblings, Evan and Elijah, and had a complicated relationship with Estrella, his older sister, who died in 2050.
