A detail I really appreciate while rewatching some of the cutscenes is how the game doesn't shy away to keep showing us Erik's struggle with his own insecurity. We know that he's a "young man" and if I don't remember wrong it's stated that he's around Henry's own age (Even though I myself sometimes hc him being older than Henry). And I like how the game keeps pointing it out in his behaviour. Nebakow is a really great example for that. He guides Godwin to Zizka and telling him him that Godwin is looking for Hans who is currently their captive, unaware that their cover had been blown by Henry mere minutes ago.

He smiled so satified with himself. For me it felt like that he thought he would be as sly as Istvan in that very moment, just for Zizka to immediately humble him and put him into his place, while also making clear that he is aware of what is going on.

I think that Istvan is rather aware of Erik's insecurity, which is why he tells him "You've grown into a very capable young man, but you still have to learn to fight for your place in the sun." Under Istvan's guidance, Erik is incredible capable of a lot of things. Yet he's young, and like Henry points out during "The Italian job" , a warrior with less experience than Henry, always surrounded by forces. Also unlike Henry, who had to undergo so many missions on his own. And the last point is something we already can see in KCD1. Erik is in charge in Vranik, surrounded by men, later during the "sneak" attack during the Talmberg siege, he once again was put in charge of a group of men.

The only time we see him, without anyone else is at the end, as he challanges Henry to the duel. And during the time, we find out that his mental situation had started to worsen since Istvan's death.

He always was someone who was pissed, yet soldiers discuss how that had gotten worse and I can imagine that he not only started to go against orders, but also started more and more to lash out against the men around him. As one of the soldiers talks about the fact that one of the others apparently went to him to complain but never left his tent afterwards. So it is save to assume that Erik's mental state had gotten so bad that his once insecurity had turned into frustration and anger that would even lead him into killing his own men. Istvan was the one who kept him sane, grounded and keept alive the part of Erik, the insecure boi he once was in Moravia. But with his death, that very part of him is gone. (And like in an other post mentioned, I think that very part of him was represented by the white dog in Maleshov)
