| “ | I've been given the opportunity to wield a power even the Precursors could not control. Don't fret. You won't live to see what I turn this little world into. Maybe a rock, or a floating puddle of slag, or nothing at all. Complete oblivion! So hard to choose. | „ |

Erol, alternatively spelled Errol, is one of the two main antagonists alongside (Metal Kor) of the Jak and Daxter video game series, serving as one of the two secondary antagonists alongside (Krew) in Jak II and, a major antagonist in Daxter, and the main antagonist of Jak 3. He is the egotistical and vicious arch-rival of Jak, right-hand of Baron Praxis, and the leader of the Krimzon Guard who is designed to be what Jak would be like if he was evil as well as being responsible for the corruption in Haven City as well as attempting to run him over in the last race with him. He returns in Jak 3, to become an insane cyborg fueled by Dark Eco who agrees to help the Metal Heads and Dark Makers so he could destroy the world and remake and design what remains of the world in his own image.
He was voiced by David Herman, who also played Nudar, That Guy, Professor Ogden Wernstrom, Robot Mayor, King of Flatbush, Pickles, Alcazar, Larry, Roberto, and Project Satan in Futurama. In the Japanese version, he was voiced by Daisuke Kishio.
Biography[]
Erol was first introduced in the corresponding opening sequences of Daxter and Jak II, as he is seen approaching Jak and Daxter along with a squadron of guards about to apprehend Jak for the Dark Warrior Program. He later shows up at the entrance of Haven Palace, where Daxter and Ximon trick him into allowing them entrance into the place for bug extermination.
Later on, Daxter overhears a conversation between Erol and Veger. Veger insists on using light eco for the ultimate weapon, though Erol cuts him off insisting they must use dark eco for the Dark Warrior Program.
Aforementioned, Erol was the commander of the Krimzon Guard, and arrested Jak upon his arrival to Haven City. Erol then spent the next two years presumably helping Baron Praxis experiment on Jak and the other 4 prisoners during the Dark Warrior Program. and he was also present for Jak's last dark eco treatment, following a scheduled execution to be carried out by Erol himself due to Baron Praxis considering the project a failure as a result the death of the other 4 prisoners and Jak bio readings being "nominal and unchanged".
After losing to Jak in the Class 1 NYFE race, Erol furiously attempted to kill Jak with his air racer, though Jak managed to dodge his zoomer, leaving Erol to plummet into barrels of dark eco. This was thought to have killed him, however unbeknownst to everyone he survived but was left severely injured and maimed.
Errol somehow was reconstructed as a robot by his fellow Krimzon robots and became Cyber Erol, and came into contact with the Dark Makers (Which he calls "New Friends"). Cyber Errol believes that he will in some way gain satisfaction, possibly from the Dark Makers, for destroying the planet with dark eco, though it is suspected at this time that he was simply being used as a puppet for the Dark Makers. Errol became obsessed with dark eco, eliminating all light eco, and fancying upon a great many possible options for conquering, destroying or reshaping the world as he quoted "Maybe a rock, or a floating puddle of slag, or nothing at all!" He heads the War for Haven City as leader of the new KG Death Bots and, later, surviving Metal Heads groups too.
Personality[]
Errol is an arrogant, cruel, callous, psychopath and outright treacherous megalomaniac who is in Jak's face constantly from the moment he arrives in the future. He hopes to win Keira's affections and eventually kill Jak. Errol is merciless as he showed no hesitation or remorse to execute Jak when Baron Praxis told him to he even told Jak that he would have enjoyed killing him in prison and it would be so much more fun to kill him in front of the city. Additionally he called Jak "Eco Freak" to mock the fact that Jak was tortured during the dark warrior program and his alter-ego.
Cyber Errol personality grew worse either to damaged personality or of his dark eco exposure. He became a far more mentally unstable, cruel and megalomaniacal psychopath completely obsessed with destroying the world and remaking it in his own image as well as finally killing Jak. He showed no remorse, feelings or empathy towards the metal head beast threatening to kill him due to thinking he lost a dark eco crystal (unbeknownst to him he was already dead).
Cyber Errol Mentioned that his digital self can communicate with the "These poor tortured minds" and says "Oh, they're just like you and me, Jak. Well, me at least." which indicates that Cyber Errol has been corrupted for too much dark eco, thus he became just like the dark makers, pure evil.
Quotes[]
