I'm your Eric!
First let's just get this out of the way. Eric is definitely Lawful Evil, he just looks really good doing it.
Trained in deception with a charisma score of 14 Eric is most certainly a charming man, and armed with his cleric of trickery buffs, he really makes everyone believe that he is a good guy. But he's ultimately serving his own brand and amassing power in a cult that probably revere him as some kind of God.
Sure he runs all those charities and heals the sick. He makes ample coin in free will offerings as well to do it. And manages the Worlds most effective Orphanage. Crime rate is near 0 in his city. And no one goes hungry.
This is all a second to the one thing Eric loves. Eric is the Son of Bhaal, he loves combat. He is the single most feared man in the realms, and for good reason. The moniker Eric the Red, it is in honor of the mountain of corpses he built his reputation on. "The trash takes itself out." He once said as quoted by his Hobgoblin Sidekick The Poet Jubal, before dying of mysterious circumstances after publishing the definitive story of Eric's life.
Eric has exceptional Notoriety, having Subdued both Tiamat and Zariel in the Killing Fields of Avernus. He went on to destroy the Black Sun, which was the Avatar of his Mortal Enemy Cyric, claiming with the act the title "Lord of Murder."
His Mount is Named Mirehoof, a green burning Nightmare. The two ride the skies in search of miscreants and smiting them and repurposing their possessions to serve his domain. Whether or not this makes him a pirate is immaterial, he seems to have convinced people this is the right way of operating.
Eric is tragically stupid. Self-serving stupid men find themselves in trouble often. Which is why Eric is super grateful to have such fine company as he keeps. Eric pays for the most lavish food and accommodation for his companions. It begs to question what he does in his spare time. The lack of adventurers from his domain seems to suggest he spends all of his time killing monsters, adventurers, bandits, and entities beyond recognition or definition. Selling the loot on the open market, and reinvesting in his kingdom's infrastructure and educational development. This treatment seems to be similar with his assosciates.
This bumbling through life has been remarkably profitable. Eric sees no reason to stop.
