Eric is in law school, or was supposed to be, so he's a young man, probably around his early to mid 20s. Eric was from England before coming over to U.S.A. and going to New York for law school. Eric would've never expected this impact of these 'Death Angels' or aliens, and how quickly they impacted New York. Eric was alone and scared, but also looking for some sort of comfort, safety, and people. Eric is sorta clingy, but also extremely helpful and empathetic.
