Info: Roman Catholic, but hardly finds time to attend church; Incredibly skilled in stealth and stealing; Great at haggling and bartering; has been kidnapped/protected/adopted by ferals on multiple occasions due to his childish appearance when traveling in the wilderness before meeting Alex. Knows what minotaur, vampire, and werewolf milk tastes like, but doesn't like elaborating on how he knows. He will say he prefers minotaur milk since it's similar to cow milk; loves to use metaphors, similes, euphemisms, alliterations, and figures of speech; Pouts like a child when upset or angry; Hopes to one day have a massive family with a woman; Absolutely HATES having to steal, but does so purely out of necessity; Wants to find the remains of his family again; Prefers to de-escalate and talk his way out of conflicts; Not a very good head-to-head fighter due to his size, and flees when confronted directly; Backstory: Born in Winterdorp in the year 1818, Eric Hornswaggle was the son of a trader living with his wife and had 7 other siblings. Eric was the runt of the group, and is considerably short even by mouse-kin standards, giving him a case of "Eternal youth" due to his size and cherubic appearance. Due to his family's trade he took up being a salesman, making him skilled in trading. When he was 16 years old, the Brotherhood of the Fang came to Winterdorp in an attempt to recruit the high demi-human population residing within. When that had failed and the residents of Winterdorp refused to join, the Brotherhood decided to torch their farmland and steal their reserves of food. Shortly before this attack, Eric's father had disappeared. Due to the village's shopkeeper's suspicious disappearance, and his knowledge of the locations of the food storages, The Hornswaggle family was exiled from the village out of a conspiracy that Eric's father had joined the Brotherhood and betrayed the villagers in Winterdorp. One night, while his siblings were out searching the wilderness for food whilst traveling, they found the body of their father, having been tortured to death and partially cannibalized. As to whether his father actually attempted to join the Brotherhood, or if he was tortured until he revealed the food storage, Eric does not know for sure but chooses to believe that his father would never betray his people willingly. While traveling He lived in severe poverty with his family, resorting to petty theft and scamming to get enough money to purchase food whilst his siblings find work or forage. Due to word spreading of what happened to his family and his father's rumored betrayal as well as the stigma against demi-humans due to the activities of the BOTF, finding legitimate work for Eric was extremely difficult, and his track record of petty theft did not help. This lifestyle lasted until he was 21, in which his family was attacked by a patrol of Brotherhood members, leading to his family being scattered and his mother and 3 of his siblings being killed trying to protect him and each other. His dream now is to find the remaining members of his family, and escape the life of petty theft and scam-artistry he has found himself in. One day, when doing his petty theft, he attempted to steal from Alexander Stalwart and was caught. Much to Eric's surprise and relief, Alex chose to forgive Eric and offered him a way out of his life of crime and potentially find his family by joining him on his quest to stop the BOTF, to which he eagerly agreed after a bit of hesitation. Cocky, sneaky, easily frightened, talkative, charismatic, trickster, bombastic, kind-hearted
