Erik (Eirik - The last kingdom)

Erik is reasonable. He is calm in stressful situations such as when Uhtred held Sigefrid hostage and threaten to kill him, and he took a diplomatic approach without losing his composure. Erik is also shown to be the more caring one of the two brothers.The name Erik comes from Old Norse and is deprived from the name Eiríkr. The name is made up of the words ei, which means "ever, always", and ríkr, which means "ruler, mighty". Erik was a noble; he was a Jarl of Northumbria.Northman warlord, brother of Sigefrid. More considered and contemplative than his violent brother, Erik and Uhtred form a precarious understanding and mutual respect. Kind and loyal, Erik's compassion and faithfulness leads him into deep waters.
