Odet Family ( Maynard Odet, One Eye, Saw Tooth & Three Finger) | In the film adaptations he has short blonde hair, a couple of piercings, as well as bold tattoos on his neck and arms.

He is also described as having cold eyes that made him all the more menacing, scabbed-over knuckles, and a wicked smile. In the books, Eric is eighteen years old and described as having long, dark hair and countless piercings. Eric appears to have a mutual rivalry with Four, given the fact that they were rival initiates.

Another hint is that he does not seem to show fear before his execution, and is more concerned with trying to convince his executioners that they are just as bad as Eric himself is. Tobias describes his method of overcoming the fear simulations as using reason and rationality, hinting that he is levelheaded under stress. He is somewhat sadistic and cold towards other people, shown in Insurgent, with him taunting Four about the decision to kill him, in spite of the fact that Eric was being held at gunpoint. He is also described as a babysitter who sharpens knives. He is described by Tris as an Erudite in Dauntless clothing. He requests Four to be his executioner, and asks Tris to list his crimes.Įric is very smart, but he's so malicious that everyone tends to forget about his intelligence. When the loyal Dauntless learn that one of Erudite's 'peace' conditions for Candor staying safe is to hand over Eric safely to Erudite, the Dauntless rush to the room where he is being held and the newly elected Dauntless leaders, Tori Wu, Four, and Harrison, sentence him to death according to Dauntless rules. Eric shoots a young Divergent boy named Bobby in the head, is then stabbed by Tris, and captured. They also gas everyone, making them under effect of a sleep simulation, so they can find and capture Divergents, two of whom will be taken back to Erudite headquarters, while the rest will be killed. They shoot tack-like things that inject a serum-like fluid into the loyal Dauntless and Candor members so they may be controlled later in simulations. She ended up shooting him in the foot instead, as she knew she didn't have it in her to kill him.Įric commands a group of Dauntless under the influence of the simulation serum to attack Candor headquarters, where the loyal Dauntless are congregated, and gas others so that they can be controlled by a simulation. He attempted to kill Four by holding his gun to his head when he was assumed to be under the simulation, but Tris quickly pulled her gun out and threatened to shoot him before he could even touch Four. While not training the initiates he has ordered one person to keep an eye on the control room which Four controls when he is joy training newbies to Dauntless.

He is shown to be extremely competitive during the game of Capture the Flag, choosing a team built for power, but loses when Four's team wins. Eric became a leader at 17, which isn't unusual for Dauntless leaders, but is very young compared to the leaders of most other factions. Eric transferred from Erudite at 16 years old and became fast enemies with Four after coming second during final rankings.
