Garan Tarsal

Once a soldier of House Canith, Garan Tarsal was struck down in a battle by the Baron Mirth; one of the commanders of the Carnival of Shadows. He later rose as a revenant, hell-bent on revenge on the baron for his death, and the deaths of his company. He ultimately died during the Battle of Awbor (714 AP) after helping Marcus Sootbeard and Ajax Silverblade slay Baron Mirth. 
== History ==
Soldiers follow orders, and Garan Tarsal has followed orders all his life. Rising from a lowly blacksmith’s son to a captain in the armies of House Canith he understood the values of a command chain and his place within it. This all changed with a skirmish against the Carnival of Shadows which cost the life of everyone in his unit. The last thing he saw was the Baron Mirth’s sword plunged into his heart. 
Garan did not die though; he awoke, numb, cold and alone, as a revenant. He forgot his orders, the chain of command and his past life, his purpose now was to find and kill Baron Mirth. 
He met the Hindenburg Ground Crew whilst wandering the battlefields of the Pantry Plains, and parted his knowledge of the Carnival of Shadows to them; before deciding to travel with them. Later he helped them slay Lord Quick, a commander of the Carnival of Shadows.
While guarding the meeting of the Council of Awbor, he was knocked out by Rakshasa disguised as one of the servants.
He eventually became a member of the Hindenburg Ground Crew prior to the Battle of Awbor (714 AP) against the forces of Kyuss. During the battle he fought with a relentless fury against all his foes, particularly those of the Carnival of Shadows, until at last he met his nemesis, the Baron Mirth outside the main gate of Caldor. With the help of Marcus Sootbeard and Ajax Silverblade, he was able to defeat his foe. His final revenge came when his greatsword plunged into the chest cavity of the Baron Mirth. Revenge came with a price however; Garan died when the Baron did.
