Eran was taken from a very young age to work as a slave on a pirate ship, sailing on the sea of swords from the Nelanter Isles. The overseer soon took note of his strength and quick mind, and Eran quickly worked his way from the oars to a full member of the crew. Watching the actions of his captain carefully, Eran picked up many tricks and turned the tide of many boardings, eventually rising to be battle commander upon the ship.

Unfortunately, despite his best efforts, his ship was lost to the overwhelming force of a larger vessel. Left for dead in the driftwood, Eran washed ashore in Amn. With the only home he remembered lost, he had nowhere else to turn and got by with work as a mercenary. He work took him eastward, toward the sea of fallen stars, where he had heard rumours of former crewmates to be found.

Eran is a fairly rough and ready guy - he's willing to do whatever it takes to get by. He is a brilliant tactician and has lead many a battle, but unfortunately he has let his constant victories get to his head.

He longs to find somewhere to belong and yearns to be part of a crew again.
