Garreth is a warrior who joined the tribe as
garrison commander after surviving an attack on a client
village he was defending. Garreth had been hired as a
mercenary to protect the village of the House Inika of
Gulg. Poortool’s Horde descended on the community
and rounded up the four slaves in the town, one of which
was Garreth’s. After the raiders left, Garreth set out to
find his manservant. While he was uncertain whether the
slave would still be alive, he was furious that someone
would take his property.
Garreth, a stubborn man, tracked the gith party all the
way back to Poortool’s encampment. He lay in the scrub
and watched the village for several days and was confused
by what he saw there: humans and half-elf wizards milling
about and casting spells, slaves tending an erdlu herd,
gith sentries. On the third evening he resolved to steal
into the camp and recapture his slave. The gith alerted
Poortool when Garreth tripped an unseen magical alarm.
Garreth was taken into custody, but his perseverance
and skill had impressed the gith so much that Poortool
returned his slave to him and extended the hospitality of
the tribe. The difficult man soon found himself agreeing
to serve as captain of the village garrison.
Garreth is a large, disagreeable man who wears black
studded leather armor and pulls his long black hair back
in a knot. His abrasive personality and vindictive manner
have won him the comraderie of the gith. He is something
of a freebooter and is well suited to his task.
