He’d have to be smart to be able to carry out his plan undetected for so long and also presumably keeping up with his legitimate reaper work on top of that
Exactly! I think people really forget he was a villain, tbh.
[ i really dislike the interpretation that Eric is dimwitted. i could see that he would lack certain specialized skills (gardening, languages, that kind of thing), or maybe that he wouldn’t necessarily flaunt his sharpness, but i don’t see him as inherently stupid. i think he’s calculating, intelligent, but selfish to a fault. in the end, to me, that was his downfall – selfishness. not his level of intelligence. that’s what makes him a villain.
i could also see him being the kind of guy that thrives in organized chaos. not that he would be a slob. he wouldn’t. but i think if anyone else tried to go through his notes or maybe tried to find something in his office or home, they’d end up going mad because the system of organization he uses only makes sense to him. that’s pretty common in intelligent people. ]

I never knew I needed this in my life until just now.
