Born a bastard to the Lord of North Town, Erin was granted life under the condition he never know his true heritage. Being escorted out of the city, he was then dropped off in the center Blaneveil, where a butcher named Hodgof, gave him his namesake. The child wasn't found until the early hours of the morning, when frost had gathered on the small infant. Death was imminent, but through the aid of the church, the child's health was safely restored. As Erin grew into his later years, he took up butchering as his profession, and became friends with a girl who called herself Macrya.
He soon knew his feelings were swelling for her, but kept them suppressed due to Macrya always being weary of her surroundings. He felt that there would soon be a day to express his love to her, but she left on an adventure before he had the chance. Knowing she would come back someday, Erin stayed in Blaneveil, accumulating his coin to take Macrya on an adventure with him that was void of monsters and evil.
He managed to save 150 gold, before Blaneveil was attacked Wildermen. The men did not slaughter women and children, but Erin's father Hogdof was amongst the men slain. In an effort to survive, Erin utilized his knowledge of deception to frame his own death and escape Blaneveil. However, when he attempted his exit, the town was ravaged by a being of unimaginable power, Asmuth. The creature killed everyone and laid waste to the town, before incapacitating Erin.
Erin has since been under excruciating torture from the creature Asmuth, deep under the palace of Asmodeus. Erin's appearance grew more scarred, burned, and flayed with every passing day. A normal man would be destroyed by the torture of the Fiend, but Erin's true heritage showed it's form when incorporeal, radiant wings sprouted from his back, and white light burned in his eyes.
Erin's true father, recently slain by the hero Vorronwe, was an avid worshipper of Asmodeus. He had taken a woman that had been gifted to him by the devil lord himself, and made her his slave. After the birth of Erin, he then killed the woman and hid his son in an effort to save him from the contract he has signed with the Lord of the Ninth, that offered Erin as a sacrifice for more fortune.
