Lieutenant Garrus Thorne is a man of honor bound by choice, not blood. Once a household knight of the noble Thorne family in Calgard, Garrus was well-respected for his discipline, loyalty, and martial skill. But when word reached him that his cousin—Dall Thorne—had been sent to Rivermond to serve in the Dominion's Redeemed Legion, Garrus made a decision few nobles would dare: he laid down his title, left behind his comforts, and volunteered to join the Redeemed.
Though he expected to serve beside his cousin, Garrus was instead assigned to the 13th Company under Commander Tyranoth Redgast. Despite the separation, he remained true to his purpose, holding to the belief that redemption is not inherited, but earned through action. Garrus still dons the faded ceremonial armor of his old house—well-maintained but clearly worn from battle. He carries himself with knightly grace and remains faithful to the old codes of conduct, which makes him both a rare figure among the Redeemed and a stabilizing presence. While others in the 13th may see their service as a burden, Garrus sees it as a calling.
He is responsible for training new recruits, instilling in them a sense of purpose and discipline, and is often the mediator when tempers rise within the ranks. Calm, fair, and unshakably principled, Lieutenant Thorne has become a quiet pillar of strength in the 13th Company. Though he rarely speaks of his past, the conviction in his actions speaks volumes. He and Dall only cross paths when the full Legion gathers, but in those brief moments, there’s a silent understanding between them—two men with different sins, seeking the same light.
