Garl Vinland

==Summary==
Garl Vinland is a knight loyal to Saint Astraea. Upon journeying to The Valley of Defilement, and witnessing the suffering and wretchedness there, Saint Astraea lost her faith in God, and later became an Archdemon. Yet despite all of this, Garl remained loyal to her. This loyalty would ultimately be his downfall, causing him to either perish protecting Astraea from the Slayer of Demons, or failing to do so, and later becoming a Black Phantom.

Attack Potency: Small Planet level (Stronger than Maiden Astraea, and even a comparably weak Archdemon like Astraea would qualify for this level)
