Erik's family were upper crust in Ala Mhigo, but he and his mother were second class citizens as refugees in Gridania. After he came to Ul'dah and the Flames, steady pay as a soldier and a teenager was nice, but still the immigrant thing sort of held him, but good investments and not being the standard wild highlander sterotype help him out. After he had been here and made something of himself (early 20s) he bought a townhouse on Onyx and that was his pretend home until FC housing became a thing. Presently he is an upper middle class person, as would anyone be in a middle management position in government employment. Which is good as he has 5 to 7 mouths to feed at any given time; himself, Lenna, Fen the dog, Fury the Chocobo, Clio when she crashes, Tellah his live in assistant/sort of grandpa, and Siha when she is hungry.
