HBO’s True Blood was a fantasy series known for its over-the-top moments but no character on the show was more extra than Eric Northman. The vampire sheriff, entrepreneur, and small business owner stole nearly every scene he was in with his flair for the dramatic. The king of one-liners with the ability to make tracksuits sexy and make people everywhere quiver with just his fang-exposed smirk, Northman was the diva we all wish we could be. Don’t believe us? Use the show’s upcoming 10th anniversary as an excuse to dive back in (it’s streamable on HBO Now).

Or, if you’re short on time, check out this ranked lost of the most extra AF moments served to us by the immortal Viking himself.

9. When He Summoned Bill While Taking A Bubble Bath

A long-haired Eric was the most extra of all the Erics. When we first met our Vitamin D-deprived Adonis, he was rocking platinum blonde locks, black tanks, and a decidedly emo attitude. He liked knowing he was in control, he loved to be worshipped, and he most definitely did not appreciate it when Bill Compton failed to respond to his text messages. The best way to let him know? In his birthday suit, soaking in a clawfoot tub two sizes too small for his tree-like frame.

8. When He Accused Sookie Of Being Saucy

Eric constantly pissed off his fairy princess and sweet, innocent Sookie often lost her girl-next-door attitude when she was around him. When Eric decided to buy Sookie’s childhood home to better control and keep her, that telepathic waitress just wasn’t having it and he just loved it.

7. When He Paired A Tracksuit With An IDGAF Attitude

In season two of True Blood, Eric Northman had a love affair with le trackie. He could often be seen wearing an open-chested blue tracksuit complete with a large talon pendant. The look screamed ’80s Russian gangster but Eric quickly taught us that when it comes to being a vampire sheriff, comfort and versatility are key.

6. When He Staked Talbot From Behind

Look, we feel for Talbot, we truly do. Russell Edgington may have been one of the show’s nastiest villains but his 700-year-old Greek boy-toy just wanted to lounge in his jewel-encrusted house slippers, gorge on his harem of male lovers, and rule the great state of Louisiana in peace, dammit. Of course, because Russel made the grave mistake of killing Eric’s human family centuries ago, instead, Talbot was seduced and then reduced to a pile of guts by that most dangerous Viking Lothario.

5. When He Had A Moment Over His Hair

Eric Northman loved ripping humans apart with his fangs but he hated the mess of it all. It’s why he had a bit of a meltdown in front of Lafayette after a particularly bloody round in his torture dungeon. Later he’d have Pam re-foil his perfectly-frosted tips but it was this moment that we all saw Eric’s true self.

4. When He Went Skinny Dipping And Emerged As A Sea God
