Eirik spent most of his early years as a farm hand because of his size and strength standing at 8'6. His ties to his giant past are a bit amiss to him he just thinks he got lucky at birth, he is not all that smart but tries to be as understanding as he can be.

Ill drop his backstory here:

Eirik was born towering even among goliaths, their skin warm to the touch and their breath misting with heat in cold air. The elders whispered of fire giant blood in their lineage. A legacy of strength, fury, and living flame. After he grew of age he started to help around the farms just outside of laagehoven but after a while that became unsustainable and made his way over to laagehoven in search of starting a new chapter in his life, he's always heard stories of mighty adventurers and strong warriors now he seeks to become one himself and hopefully make a decent living off of it too
