Erwan Le Breton was born on March 21. Passionate about comics and novels. He wrote short stories, articles in various fanzines, role-playing scripts, etc. His first publication was in 1995 with "Kharne" (world encyclopedia of the fantasy Play By Mail RPG "Quest", KJC Games), an atlas of a fantasy world, published by Éditions Délires.

He succeeded Fabrice Cambounet as Might & Magic Heroes franchise producer, later he has became Executive Creative Director for Might & Magic at Ubisoft in years 2011-2020 but his involvement in the series started earlier, roughly from 2008 with Heroes V Tribes of the East. He is the one (of) responsible persons for designing the World Ashan, which introduced a fresh new background for Heroes VI to avoid old world lore complications. With development of Heroes VI he went famous with quote: "First rush, then think." as description for Orcs faction mindset and later on also survived Galaad's vicious attack by (pitch)fork.

All in all he's a great chap, responsible for moving Heroes franchise up during Heroes VI and Heroes VII era, put on mission to grasp the game lore and create AAA tile with B grade budged. Nival was doing first drafts of Heroes VI, later the development has been completely handed to Black Hole, which went bancrupt. So thinks went back to Nival, to continue on the pillars of the previous game for the Heroes VII creation (Released 2015).

If you want to ask about Ashan, he is the right one to talk to.
