Garrick Lightsilver

Garrick Lightsilver, born Gideon Porterro, was a human male of Damaran descent born to a wealthy family in Tethyr. He began living in the Sword Coast under a new alias, and is known for his incredible ability to read people and be quick at the draw. He was a skilled swordsman who was also noted to be significantly arrogant.
==Childhood and Adolescence==
Garrick was born in a well-off merchant family in a metropolitan area of the province of Tethyr. From a young age, Garrick's parents encouraged his developing hobby of fencing, even paying for him to be taught privately. Unbeknownst to them, Garrick was developing another skill as well: sleight of hand tricks.
Garrick's wealthy background as well as his naturally good looks often resulted in him getting his way, and his newfound ability to pickpocket often allowed him leeway when it came to manipulating others. By the age of twelve, he began scamming children and adults alike with convincing acts of deceit, using the fruits of his labor as well as his family's saved fortune in order to fund his increasingly lavish lifestyle. At age nineteen, his family discovered what he'd done, and he was disowned by his parents and made to leave his home city.
== Adult Career ==
Garrick, ever-cunning, bought his way to the Sword Coast, changing his name to the alias he would use for the remainder of his career and using the tricks he'd learned in both dueling and scam artistry to further build his wealth and secure a sizable residence in the city of Waterdeep. To him, he saw his work of that of a vigilante, often stealing from people or companies he personally disapproved of. Over time, he developed a network of both spies and thieves, creating his own personal guild.
== Beliefs and Values ==
Garrick's self-esteem was equally strong: highly arrogant and reasonably egotistical. From the moment he decided to change his identity, he made an effort to hide the person he used to be, instead choosing to construct an elaborate façade to hide his underlying shame from the world.
Overall, Garrick believed that not only do you forge your own destiny, but rules are your own to create.
