## Biography

### Early Life

Garret was an orphan whose parents were killed by dragons from Talon. He was rescued by Lucas Benedict and taken in by the Order of the St. George. He was a soldier nearly all of his life, and he believed in St. George's teachings. He got the nickname "the Perfect Soldier" from his brothers-in-arms. His partner, Tristan St. Anthony, had saved his life dozens of times as well as Garret had saved his. However, at the end of Solider, the Patriarch reveals that the Order was at fault of his parents death and not Talon, as he was led to believe.

### Life as a Soldier

Garret acquired his first dragon kill at the age of 14, saving Tristan and gaining his respect at the same time. Over the course of his soldiering career he was known to have killed more dragons than any other soldier of his age. Many of those kills possibly by luck alone as he often times risked his own life for those of his squad-mates. He used to believe that dragons were merciless beasts created by the devil, much like any other St. George soldier. However, that would eventually change.

As a soldier, he is an expert marksman and good at CQC. He prefers the use of body armor and feels vulnerable in normal human clothes, especially with the possibility of nearby dragons. As stated previously, Garret has a tendency to take wild risks, throwing himself into a fight risking his own life in order to save his squad-mates. Garret's uncanny success as a soldier of St. George and his unflinching loyalty to their code, earned him the title of "the Perfect Soldier." He was respected by all his comrades in arms. But even a "perfect" soldier like Garret is not exempt from the pull of love.

### Finding the Sleeper

Garret and his partner Tristan were ordered to travel to Crescent Beach due to the suspicion of Talon activity in the area. In this case, a Sleeper presence; a dragon hatchling undergoing the assimilation process. The task: to find and kill the target by the end of summer. No easy feat, for fate had other plans for the Perfect Soldier.

Garret and Tristan found the probable sleeper and followed her. Her name was Ember Hill, the main protagonist of the Talon Saga. They followed her to a beach where someone (Colin) and his gang had attacked Ember and her friends. They got there, fought and met Ember. From that moment, they got into their group. Garret´s task was to befriend Ember and get her talking. When Garret started to spend more time with her, he slowly began to realize that he was in love with her.

After time, he found out that Ember was, in fact, the dragon Sleeper, and saved her life by joining Riley, or Cobalt, a Rogue dragon, in the fight against Lilith, Ember's Viper teacher for the summer at Crescent Beach. After that, Garret was taken by the Order, now marked a traitor.

### Life as a Rogue

Awaiting execution by the Order, Garret was rescued by Ember, Riley and a human named Wes. However, now he was on the run. At the end of Soldier, it's revealed that the Order was at fault for the death of Garret's family, not dragon-kind. The Patriarch reveals to Garret that they killed them because they worked for Talon, and turned their backs on their fellow men. According to the Patriarch, they were aware that they were most likely good people and only worked for Talon because they were forced to and were planning on escaping; however, they were killed anyways by the Order of St. George. The Order believed that any human being working for dragons deserves to die in cold blood, despite the situation. Garret then remembers seeing them slaughter his mother. After the flashback, he was enraged at the Patriarch for killing his parents just because they worked for the dragons. He managed to win the duel in the end, but he was shot by the Patriarch.

Since Garret was losing blood fast, Riley donated some of his blood to him. This action saved Garret's life. For a week, Garret was unconscious, his body fighting to accept the new "dragon blood." During this time, his body was burning hot and at one point he even let out a dragon-like growl. His gunshot wound had healed in a timespan that should have taken weeks or even months, showing that the blood transfusion had some effects.

Although Riley and Garret have always been rivals for Ember's affections, Ember finally admits to Riley that both sides of her - human and dragon - have chosen the soldier. However, after countless going on countless missions and tasks alongside Ember, Riley, Wes, and occasionally Jade, Riley and Garret show signs of no longer being enemies, but acquaintances. Eventually, the group finds themselves battling Dante and his clones at the Western Chapterhouse on the Night of Fang and Fire. Teamed up with the soldiers of St. George, Garret, Jade, Riley, and his rogue hatchlings fight. A few hatchlings and St. George soldiers are killed, but they have won, after Garret killed the adult clone by ramming into it with a truck. Tristan St. Anthony is severely injured, but he eventually recovers.

In Inferno, the group faces many challenging tasks, including rescuing breeder females from the breeder facility. These females will eventually aid the group in their battle against the Elder Wyrm. During the battle, Lieutenant Martin was killed, and Lieutenant Ward has gained a little bit of respect for dragons, as Ember saved his life by shielding him from a blast of dragon fire. It was Tristan who fired the fatal blow against the Elder Wyrm - killing her, leading to a new era for dragon kind.

### New Era for Dragons

After the battle, it was unanimously decided that Garret should be the new head director of St. George. Ember also became the new CEO, since she was the heir of the Elder Wyrm. Garret and Ember signed a treaty stating that St. George and Talon would exist to keep each other in check, but no longer as enemies. The two organizations would look onto each other if they ever needed aid or backup. After the meeting, Ember calls Garret into her office. The two share a moment together, but Ember informs Garret that the results of his blood test have come in. Apparently, there is a high percentage of dragon blood in him, which will have effects that take toll on his body. Although Garret was worried that the blood was killing him, the opposite was true. Instead, dragon blood made human cells regenerate at a speed almost comparable to dragons. This being said, Garret probably will have a dragon-like lifespan so he will be able to spend many centuries with Ember.
