Who is Erac in the original Greyhawk campaign

[ChampaignSupernova]

who is Erac? What class is he? Is he a PC or an NPC? If PC, who was he played by? Is he also one of Ernie's characters? What is his relationship with his infamous cousin? BTW, I am presuming that Erac is indeed male. If that is not the case I apologize to all those concerened.

According to the Rogues Gallery (citation below), Erac was a split-class human MU/Fighter, and a powerful PC in the original GH campaign.

Here's a list of GH sources that discuss or mention Erac:

Erac [NPC]
DRG#37 - 11

Eracs Cousin [F7/M14][M16][NPC]
DRG#37 - 30
ROG - 42

That info's compliments of Jason Zavoda's fabulous Greyhawk index.

You'll also want to check out some posts in Greytalk by Scott Gregg, which detail some of the original history of Erac from Gygax's game; Scott also has a board at http://doomsdaygames.proboards3.com/index.cgi. You'll also want to read Roger Moore's adventure "The House on Summoner Court" in Shadis magazine #50 (1998), and the version that Moore first published in the Oerth Journal #7 (available on www.canonfire.com in the OJ section of the downloads page). Gygax and Kuntz wrote some "Up on a Soapbox" articles in Dragon about Erac as well; for an index of them you can see my web site at http://www.greyhawkonline.com/grodog/gh_castle_sources_soapbox.html

I hope that helps
