Biography

Erik (Japanese: エリック, Hepburn: Erikku)

As a child, he was a slave at the Tower of Heaven where he was enslaved by Jellal Fernandes. In that time, he was taken by Brain alongside four other slave children to become members of his own guild after getting permission from Jellal. Given the name Cobra, he became a member of the Dark Guild called the Oración Seis that became one of the three most powerful dark magical guilds in the land. Members of the group were taught to seek out the lost destructive magic of Nirvana. At some point, Erik was implanted with a Dragon Lacrima into his body thus turning him into a Poison Dragon Slayer.

Cobra, along with the other members of the Oración Seis, attacks the Allied Forces; he engages Erza Scarlet in combat. The two battle on equal ground, that is, until Racer and Hoteye join the fray, turning their conflict into a three-on-one battle. Using the openings granted by his comrades, Cobra orders Cubellios to bite Erza's arm, poisoning the S-Class Mage. As Erza reels from the assault, Cobra informs her that the poison isn't fast-acting and will kill her slowly.

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, Erik was a slim man of average height with dark tan skin and spiky, upward-styled maroon hair; aside from a tuft covering his forehead and two bangs framing his face and purple slit-pupil eyes. He came to be known by the code name Cobra (コブラ, Kobura) though he later abandoned it after the disbanding of the Oración Seis.

Erik harbors great affection towards his snake Cubellios, considering her to be his greatest friend, and being willing to dedicate his prayer to hear her voice, which in itself is impossible, even for someone like Erik, who has exceptional hearing.

As mentioned by Sorano, he can be very shy, something at which he scoffed at the mere notion.

Powers and abilities

By having a Dragon Lacrima implanted into his body, Erik obtained the ability to use Poison Dragon Slayer Magic (毒の滅竜魔法, Doku no Metsuryū Mahō). It grants him the power to produce poison from his body and to consume the one produced from external sources to heal and strengthen himself, which, as a result, grants him immunity from poison. The poison that he produces from his skin is so corrosive that it is said to be able to decay all that it touches, but can also act after a given amount of time: Erik stated that its effects are first visible in a progressive weakening of the victim's body, which then results in death.
