By the time he was eighteen, he had already served in numerous campaigns, battling Freljord barbarians, mages, and the Noxian army, earning him a nomination for the Fearless Vanguard, a position that he easily gained through his sheer courage and skill. His skills have been so well recognized by the rest of the Vanguard that of the more than two thousand members [each of them is a legendary hero in his own right, the most gifted and well-trained soldiers in Demacia, masters of many weapons, and boasting extensive knowledge of battle tactics and warfare, and the performance of extraordinary feats, such as killing dragons and lizards, defeating the entire army of the Trinity Legion and the ability to face the entire army and victory on your own] was elected the new Sword -Captain after the death of the previous leader, a decision he did not oppose no member of the Vanguard. As a member of the fearless Vanguard, Garen is a master of battlefield strategy, capable of communicating complete combat plans to other members of the Vanguard through nothing more than subtle eye and facial movements, as well as perceiving the strategies of other members given in the same way. through peripheral vision, and doing so at a speed described as blindingly fast by people less skilled than them. He is also very observant, as all members of the Vanguard must master the art of observing all aspects of the battlefield, as well as the possible changes that could be made both in and out of his line of sight at any time and identify what your enemy is observing and how they can potentially advance).
