Editing Erik Sotto (section)

==Throughout The Series ==
Erik is presented as a loyal protector of [[LJ Folger]] and a respected member aboard ''Snowpiercer''. When he finds out [[Nikki Genêt]]'s awakening, LJ and Eric seem frightened. Erik murders her before she is able to reveal anything about the murder of Edward.<ref>''[[Access Is Power]]''</ref>

Erik is unable to return to First following the murder, however, given that there is a lockdown in place due to Fight Night. Instead, he hides out in a storage container. He is later found by Bess and Oz when Layton figures out that he could be responsible for the killing. He takes [[Jinju Seong]] hostage after she asks whether LJ is involved. He is unsuccessful, however, and is axed to death by [[Commander Grey]] and the [[Jackboots]].<ref name="wtm">''[[Without Their Maker]]''</ref>

Layton eventually realizes that Erik did not commit the murders out of hatred, but due to LJ's influence, who actually wanted the people dead.<ref name="wtm" />
