Erick

 is a character in Welcome To Eden. He is the founder of the Eden Foundation and the husband of Astrid. He is portrayed by Guillermo Pfening.

Biography
Erick is the founder of the Eden Foundation. He is from Buenos Aires, and on his first trip to Europe, he met Astrid at a party.

He was assigned as África's "link", meaning that he was tasked with developing a relationship with her and keeping her on Eden. They quickly became close, causing Astrid to become jealous of their relationship.

Throughout Welcome To Eden
During the first party, he and his wife Astrid talked about the 5 people that they had chosen. Astrid asked him to place a bet on one of them and he chose Zoa because he believed she was strong.

Erick caught África attempting to use her phone on the beach. He explained that there was no signal and confiscated her phone. He also told África that she couldn't smoke on Eden. Erick then showed África a tattoo on his ribs, which said "Juntos en el paraíso," which means "Together in paradise." He explained that it was the first thing Astrid said when they arrived at Eden. África then told him that she had a tattoo of a dollar sign.

During the farewell party, Astrid invited África to her place and introduced her to Erick. Erick invited África to stay in the guest room and talked to África about his childhood. África also admitted that she didn't have a good relationship with her family, and Erick reminded África that she had a family at Eden.

Seeing how close África and Erick had become, his wife Astrid was uncomfortable and asked Erick to treat her like everyone else. Erick requested for África to sleep in Module 1 during the storm like the others. África was unhappy about this, and Erick explained that only level 3 residents could stay at their place. Since África was still at level 1, she needed to prove herself useful to Astrid and Erick to move up in level.

África suggested to Erick to hold a party celebrating the anniversary of the Eden Foundation, so that he could build an image of a caring leader. África offered to organise it, and Erick agreed.

During the party, Erick gave a speech about his relationship with Astrid and about Eden. Suddenly, the screen changed and "Muerte a Astrid", meaning "Death to Astrid" was shown. Astrid was angry and called for a meeting with Erick, Orson, Mayka, Brenda, Ulises and Saúl. Mayka couldn't trace the real culprit of the hack, but Astrid decided that someone needed to pay nevertheless to send a message to the whole community that there are consequences for breaking rules. Eloy and Zoa were suggested as scapegoats, but the majority voted to save them. They decided to make Claudia the scapegoat instead.

One night, the four new members, Zoa, África, Charly and Ibón, went through an initiation process to signify them joining Eden. They needed to walk across burning coal and get a necklace. While África walked over the coals, her pants caught fire. She managed to reach the end and collapsed. Erick immediately rushed over to help her put out the fire using his jacket, much to Astrid's dismay, as she was already concerned about his close they had become. The four then got a star tattooed onto their wrists to show that they were in level 1. Eva and Alma were promoted to level 2, and Ulises was promoted to level 3.
