Background:
Eric was born on the planet of Denon in 35BBY to a rich family in the western parts of megalopolis planet. He was raised alongside his older brother with much love and upbringing unaffected by wealth. They weren't spoiled like the rest of the rich and famous kids of Denon, they were taught about dependence and hard work from an early age. When Eric's older brother turned 18 he joined the Galactic Republic and soon enough got tangled in the Clone Wars when it hit home. Eric's brother got shot by Republic clone trooper and left for dead as both sides battled for the control of Denon. When the Clone Wars was over both Eric's parents would appeal to the Empire and ask questions for the murder of their son, Empire representatives would consider Eric's brother a mere accident and wouldn't waste time trying to start a trail for a clone's accident.
Eric's parents would continue their pokes at the Empire and try to pull strings, with their powerful contacts as wealthy personnel in the western Denon financial board, but would keep facing dead ends. One day Eric woke up to the scream of his mother, he rushed to his parent's quarters to find both his parents brutally murdered by an assassin. Eric tried to pursue and succeeded in catching him, he would learn that he was hired by Empire representatives to silence the Valhfiem couple. The assassin revealed that he was also hired to kill Eric.
With his parents murdered by an Empire assassin, and his brother died by a careless clone accident while serving the Galactic Republic, Eric swore to take revenge and seek justice. Fueled by his anger and hate for the Empire he decided to travel off-world and head for an Empire station orbiting Denon. He wanted to infiltrate the station on his own and blow it up, sending a message to the Empire. He failed and was captured upon his arrival to the station, there a squadron of rebels would cause enough chaos for Eric to escape and make way back to his transport jet. On his way out he would meet an Alliance Lieutenant that would talk him into joining the rebellion, seeing a chance in this to better fight the empire, Eric accepted and was a remarkable soldier in the ranks of the Alliance ever since.
Reason for Joining the Empire/Alliance: "My parents were killed for asking too many questions about some shady aspects of the Empire, they did so because my brother Joana got killed during the Clone Wars on the hands of a damn clone trooper. My brother was on their damn side, and this is how they repay him. They kill him 'by accident' and they murder my parents for asking the wrong questions. If I can't bring this empire down, at least I will try helping those that will burn down its foundation"
