Erickson is a friendly super mutant living at the wreck of Horizon Flight 1207 in 2287.

Background[]

Erickson was part of the super mutant war party that landed on Mount Desert Island a long time ago. After a few weeks on the island, unlike his peers, Erickson overcame the rage and hatred that burned inside him and separated from his peers. It may have been the fog,[1] or perhaps his consumption of Vim while he was camped at the Vim! Pop factory.[2] He began to question their actions, why should they be attacking humans if game was so plentiful? When he brought it up with the rest of the super mutants they threatened to kill him if he turned weak like a human. Their leader, the behemoth Grun, took a swipe at him, although Grun was slow enough and he was quick enough to dodge it.[3] Unwilling to stay with the group any longer he devised a plan. He would lock Grun up in the basement storage area. While they're busy trying to let him out, he'd be gone before they realize. Then go and find someplace quiet to live on his own. And if they manage to let Grun out, he'll probably be so mad he'll attack them.[4]

His plan was successful, he traveled over the island[5][6][7][8][9][10] and eventually settled in at the crashed Horizon Flight 1207, building a home for himself in the ruined hulk of the airplane. He gets by with a combination of hunting, dog breeding,[11] and trading with whomever passes through his little hermitage in the wilderness.[12][13][14] He used to trade with a couple of the people of Far Harbor, however with the Fog's encroachment they seldom leave the settlement.[15] Old Longfellow is certainly the exception, he is an old friend[16] one who doesn't fear traveling through the Fog.

Furthermore Erickson is an experienced trapper, even creating a bearskin outfit for himself,[17] and a kind and hospitable sort who truly loves dogs.[18][19][20][21]

    Erickson: "Started seeing things more clearly when we came here. Who knows, maybe it's the fog. I just don't see what the point of us all killing each other is."

  10. The Sole Survivor: "Got any tips about the island?"
    Erickson: "Hm... There's a group of humans living at the top of the mountain. Heard someone call them Simps. Maybe you know what that means."
    (Erickson's dialogue)
  11. The Sole Survivor: "Did you train these dogs?"
    Erickson: "Yeah. As guard dogs. Not all can be trained though. Most are used to being kicked or shot at. I can only manage a few at a time though, so unless I find a new home for one of them, I can't really take on any more."
    (Erickson's dialogue)
  12. The Sole Survivor: "Easy there big fella, I was just looking around."
    Erickson: "I'm plenty calm, considering you invaded my home. Look, I don't really want any trouble. I broke off from the group I came here with a long time ago. I just... started seeing things differently when we came to the island and I couldn't stand how the other super mutants act to humans. I keep to my self up here and train my dogs. Do a bit of trade with people too. At least those that don't open fire on me. Don't see any reason we can't do the same. Come on up if you'd like."
    (Erickson's dialogue)
  13. The Sole Survivor: "Die mutant scum!"

    (Erickson's dialogue)
  14. The Sole Survivor: "You're a super mutant? I'm surprised you didn't attack me."
    Erickson: "Yeah well, maybe you shouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions. Look, I don't really want any trouble. I broke off from the group I came here with a long time ago. I just... started seeing things differently when we came to the island and I couldn't stand how the other super mutants act to humans. I keep to my self up here and train my dogs. Do a bit of trade with people too. At least those that don't open fire on me. Don't see any reason we can't do the same. Come on up if you'd like."
    (Erickson's dialogue)
  15. The Sole Survivor: "You just live out here by yourself?"
    Erickson: "My kind are mostly stupid brutes. Used to trade with a couple people in Far Harbor, but they don't leave the settlement much these days. The rest of the people on the island are worse."
    (Erickson's dialogue)
  16. Erikson: "Come on out stranger, this doesn't have to get messy."
    Old Longfellow: "Erikson? That you out there?"
    Erikson: "Longfellow? You're still alive eh? Tell your friend to come on out here. Mind telling your friend to ease off the weapon?"
    Old Longfellow: "I've had dealings with him before. Not a bad sort."
    The Sole Survivor: "Easy there big fella, I was just looking around."
    Erickson: "I'm plenty calm, considering you invaded my home. Look, I don't really want any trouble. I broke off from the group I came here with a long time ago.

    Erikson: "You guys alright? Yeah, you're good."
    Erikson: "Longfellow. Good to see you're still kicking."
    Old Longfellow: "Yeah, you too."
    Erikson: "You vouching for him?"
    Old Longfellow: "Absolutely. No one I'd trust more."
    Erickson: "Sorry about pointing a gun at you earlier, I just get a bit jumpy when a stranger might be killing my dogs. There's probably a bed around if you need a rest."
