Erick was born at Windle Manor in Windlebridge, but being the second son, he had to look for a life and a career elsewhere, while his older brother Alarick inherited the estate and the title. Erick is a science sim and finished Windle College with excellent grades. He then choosed to join the Windle Garrison and aim for a career as an officer. This fall he moved in to an apartment in The Eagles Tower in the castle, where he is neighbor to his sister Maureen Hunter and his cousins Joanna Arrow and Mary Barry.

He now needed a wife. With the many social events at the Castle, he soon met Lady Harriet Stackhaus, a beautiful woman from a good family.

	Lady Harriet was a little surprised by the proposal, but didn't hesitate. Even if Erick didn't have a title, yet, he was a Windleton, and a spitting image of his grandfather, the respected Sir Roderick. With his good connections and bright mind, she was convinced that he would have his own title, and maybe even an estate, one day.
	They got married in the Castle Chapel. Many prominent guests attended the ceremony.
	Sir Alarick Windleton, brother of the groom, and Eileen Swann, sister of the groom.
Lord Ingvar was of course present. Erick Windleton is not only one of his good friends from college, but also one of the new young and upcoming generation of officers in the Garrison.
