On top of being athletic he was a gifted student as well and an avid fan of mystery novels. His love in mystery novels was just a tad bigger then his love for America's game.

Erik was accepted into his parent's school easily mainly due to his skills as a football player and the fact that his parents were employed with the university. As with his high school football days Erik made all-American three of his four years on the team and was named as a number one draft choice for the National Football League. Though many would kill to be Erik's shoes, he had no intentions to play professional football. His major during his time at UNC was literature simply because he love to read and write. As a senior while he was a national football star he was also an intern with Interpol and fell in love with the organization's stories.

With his connections to Interpol through his internship Erik was recruited and hired as a researcher. He was assigned to the main headquarters in Lyon. His superiors saw his athletic ability and sharp mind as a potential for him becoming a field agent. Being a natural athlete training was easy for Brink and he was a junior agent with Interpol only a year into his employment with the organization. Erik was soon assigned to Interpol Italy where he was partnered up with local Grazia Lombardi, the two become quick friends and worked extremely well together. They solved a few tough cases together and even became known as the 'Brother and Sister' of their branch.
