The Unearthly Powers

His siren powers manifest as stormy psychic blasts that destroy everything in their path. Imagine a hurricane of raw psychic energy, only much more destructive. This clangor, however, betrays the silent grace that is the trademark of the sirens.
Quest for Redemption
Eridos seeks redemption for his people �who were the undeserving victims of a meaningless conflict. His rage against the Eridians intensifies every time his powers wreak havoc. He remains torn between seeking revenge and finding a peaceful resolution.
As he traverses through Borderlands on his journey of self-discovery, he grapples with his haunting past events that ever intensifies his quest for redemption.
A Bond Beyond Borders

As he interacts with each of them, he realizes that they bear their own scars and have their unique quests. This enhances his respect for them, and he swears to assist them in whatever battles they face.
