Erikir was born to a Chernorussian mother and American Father in the city of Ocean Springs, MS.
Erikir's household was divided, with his mother and father hating each other from the first moment Erikir can remember. Despite this familial infighting, Erikir's parents were catholic and as such refused to get a divorce or move away from each other.

Growing up in a divided household, Erikir tried to balance the cultural differences of his Father and Mother. Erikir learned of his fascination of the world at large from his well traveled, Eastern-European mother, while Erikir's would influence his life in a much different way. Erikir spent much of his childhood with his father hunting and tracking animals in the woodlands of Mississippi. During these hunting trips, Erikir discovered his love of tinkering with firearms, among other mechanical devices. This discovery would lead to Erikir working at a gunsmith part time while he finished his primary education in the deep south. After Erikir graduated highschool, he would enroll in university to obtain a Bachelor's degree in the Science of Mechanical Engineering.

Instilled with a wanderlust, Erikir would accept a job for an international construction company as soon as he graduated university. This would result in him traveling around Europe for some time, before ending up in Nyehim, Norway.
