In Saori Kumi's three part novel series ''Senrei [[Rubiss]] Densetsu'' (精霊ルビス伝説), the title of Erdrick is revealed to be the birth name of the Goddess' half-human lover Diaruto Kentoropige. Diaruto would embrace his human name over the course of the series and would take up that name throughout his reincarnations, thus spreading disconnected legends of an incredible hero throughout the centuries until the people of [[Alefgard]] came to recognize it as a title reserved for the greatest of heroes. | In Saori Kumi's three part novel series ''Senrei [[Rubiss]] Densetsu'' (精霊ルビス伝説), the title of Erdrick is revealed to be the birth name of the Goddess' half-human lover Diaruto Kentoropige.
