The only thing Garrett learned from knight school before he was forcibly removed was how to fight and handle all sorts of weapons. Garrett has little patience or respect for the rules, but he means well and puts other’s well being before his own. He is very enthusiastic about adventuring maybe a LITTLE too much of a thrill seeker for his compatriots. He’s kind hearted and genuinely invested in protecting other people from danger.

- superstitious and fears the supernatural
Combat skills - formal weapons training from a young age, versatile and general knowledge of different weapons. Has a strong defense and can take a lot of hits, attacks are relatively calculated but slow. In D&D terms he'd be a fighter (weapons master) and/or paladin without the magic)

Appearances
Has that "dad bod" and likes food and beer too much to bother with body building, but he's STRONG (power lifter kind of muscle). Eyes are blue; hair is the color and texture of hay; despite his best efforts, struggles to grow any kind of facial hair. Tends to wear simple clothes that are comfortable and/or allow for mobility.
