Erik (カミュ, Camus) is a character in Dragon Quest XI. He is a thief who becomes a companion to the hero early in the story after abandoning his life of crime.
His weapons of choice consist of knives, one-handed swords, and boomerangs, and he is even capable of dual wielding weapons.
Appearance and Personality
Erik is a young man with blue eyes and slicked back, spiky cyan hair that has a single forelock. He has a single gold hoop earring on each ear and wears purple beads around his neck. His clothes are relatively simple, wearing a hooded dark green tunic with lacing that exposes his chest, a red sash tied around his waist, blue trousers, fingerless gloves, and leather shoes worn with orange socks that are held up with string. He carries a scabbard with a dagger on his sash.
Despite his gruff exterior, he has a kind and compassionate heart. He is a seasoned traveler and guides the hero along his journey.
Story
Erik first encounters the hero in the prisons of Heliodor Castle.

Trivia
Erik is the second major Dragon Quest character to be depicted as left-handed after Angelo from Dragon Quest VIII. Single weapons are always held in his left, while his dual-wielding skill makes it clear that his left hand is dominant. In addition many cutscenes showing him favoring his left hand to use or hold everyday items.
