Corwin's elder and strong contender to the crown.  Both brothers hated each other.  Yet, they have the same tastes.  Eric has always been the better fighter of the two.

In a duel, Eric defeated Corwin and left him for dead.  However, he did not move to take the crown even when Oberon went missing.  However, he had the support of Caine and Julian.

His part in the story begins when Corwin trumped into AmberCorwin managed to catch Eric offguard and won a small victory.

Eric employed the Jewel of Judgement to great effectiveness when Corwin and Bleys led a ground assault in [ Nine Princes in Amber ].  Corwin was captured and later blinded at the suggestion of Julian.

Eric crowned himself but was soon plauged with problems.  Monsters out of Shadows threatened the security of Amber.  When Corwin escaped, he tried to make peace with him.  He died in in defence of Amber but not before he instructed Corwin in the use of the Jewel of Judgement.
