Like the Thorn, he is a skilled archer and acrobat. Erno is not a mage, and use a chemical compound to create the affect of smoke. Due to his showmanship antics and quips, he nicknamed "The Jester" by Jiarna Kay. Unlike the other Thorn impostor, Erno is never confronted by the real Thorn. After several confrontations, he was finally arrested by the constabulary.
