Name: Eric Northman
Age: 1142 years
Canon: Southern Vampire Mysteries / True Blood (Book Canon)
Canon Point: End of Book 3, "Club Dead"
Appearance:

Personality:
Most people's first impression (or at least Sookie's) of Eric is that he is simply and arrogant prick who cares little for others and is only out to benefit himself and his small group of friends (which usually only includes his vampire daughter, Pam). He is generally well spoken and suave, though most people find him to be creepy and dangerous, even if he is incredibly attractive. It is very difficult not to notice him, as he enjoys being the center of attention and causing mischief. He is also not against being cruel if it suits his purposes.
However, those that get to know Eric (on the rare occassion that he allows it) will find him to be very different than the aura he likes to portray. Those that work for him describe him as a fair boss and he is very loyal to those who have proven themselves to him. He is very smart and doesn't jump in to precarious situations unless he strongly believes that he will both come out on top and gain something great in the process.
It takes a lot for Eric to truly notice another person as beneficial(especially if they are human), but he takes care of those who both impress him and interest him. He is especially stubborn and never gives up working towards something he desires. This tends to make him think he can get whatever he wants because, in the end, he usually does.
He has a great capacity for feeling and for love, though at the point in which he is taken, he is fighting the deeper feelings he is developing for that certain blonde waitress, as he knows that creating such bonds can be a weakness and a danger.
Powers & Abilities:
In the series, vampire possess an array of paranormal abilities. The most basic powers have to do with their physical bodies and senses. Their physical strength is greatly increased to superhuman levels. They can move faster than the human eye can see. All of the vampire's senses are greatly enhanced (hearing, smell, taste, etc).
A vampire can ingest human blood in order to heal any wounds they have more quickly (though as they get older, the need for blood for advanced healing decreases significantly. For instance, Eric can heal all but major wounds without the need for blood quite rapidly because he is so old).
Eric also has the ability to fly, although this trait is rare among vampires.
Lastly, a vampire's blood is quite beneficial to humans as well. If a human (or part human) ingests Eric's blood, this person will be more beautiful to those around them, as well as gain additional strength and speed. They will also experience an increase to their libido. However, if even a few drops of his blood is ingested, Eric would be able to sense the location of and feel the emotions of this same human (though no actual telepathy is possible). If blood is exchanged between the two a total of three times, this creates a blood bond, which is a stronger form of this and works in both directions. It is also permanent.
Due his long life, Eric has aquired a variety of skills, though he is a businessman first and foremost. He is good at keeping loyalty among his employees and gaining the trust of even the most stubborn creatures, human, vampire, or otherwise. He speaks quite a few languages, his best being English, Danish, and Norse. His human life as a Viking gave him knowledge in weapon smithing and fighting. Obviously, he is also quite the history buff.
