Background Information:
Erwin is the youngest son of an aristocratic family that owned a large share of the resort enterprises on Baden Baden. He was spoiled as a child getting anything and everything he wished. He grew up around the wealthy, and around members of an elite society that had little cares in the world. His life was spent on fancy Luxury Liners and in beach front resorts. His education was custom tailored to fit his needs and his professors had been the best money could buy. It was a family tradition that each male member of the Helge family join the armed forces in defense of the homeland. Of course this usually meant easy positions of arm chair commanding, which Erwin was himself expecting. He lived with his parents for many years in complete happiness. His father died at the old age of 81 do to natural causes and his mother several years later peacefully in her sleep at the age of 79. Erwin new it was his time to carry on the family tradition and join the armed forces, so he enlisted with the help of some of the more affluent military contacts his father new. For his first year in the academy everything was fine, but that was all to change. The companies his parents invested in all fell in profit rapidly at the out break of small border skirmishes with Liberty. While non of the companies went under it was enough to strip his family of it's wealth. Fair weather friends soon jumped ship, and tried to distance themselves from the Helge family and it's failure. His military contact dropped his backing and he was kicked from the officer academy and placed in the standard Rhineland Military corp.
He has been transformed into a complainer, one who thinks the world is out to get him even with the substantial money that was left in his bank account from his deceased parents. This money accounts for several billion credits, but from Erwin's point of view he used to play with that kind of money as a child. His new goal is to achieve fame through military actions and feels he has to live up to his parents legacy.
Once Helge reached the rank of Hauptgefreiter he resigned with honor from the Rheinland Military. Although, it is rumored he and his wealth still retained mysterious ties to the upper echelons of RM High Command. After he departed though, he took on a mercenary role and freelanced against Liberty Capital Vessels. A small group of raiders recruited from local crooks and himself claimed four gunboats, three cruiser, and five fighters. The thrill of combat was a driving force behind his actions, but the call of the fatherland would call him back. Once again he seems to be searching for place in the RM.
