Erik The Slayer

Just a portrait of my companion Erik.

This NPC is based on an actual person (Erik West - his name on the forums was "Immok The Slayer") who died of cancer in 2011 before the release of Skyrim.
Erik was a big fan of TES and he was able to play the game while it was still in development. When he met all the guys from Bethesda they were so impressed by his knowledge of TES: Oblivion and his enthusiasm that they decided to make this NPC to honour him.
It's a sad story but it shows that the people who work for Bethesda are good guys. I think it was really nice of them to make this NPC.
