Erik, as you may be able to see from his design, is basically just Mads Mikkelsen lol. I would love someone as close as possible to that calm, warmth, and sincerity he has as well as the Danish accent.
Opposite of Cassian, Erik is completely normal and there for a good time (he also happens to be a better angler). He wants to get closer to Cassian and isn't afraid to show his interest - which Cassian repeatedly fails to pick up on.
