**Garmr Medusiana** is one of the more Notable Members of the Crew,even if he does tend to isolate himself fairly often,almost universally preferring to work alone,or to inhabit his Kingdom,aka the underworld peacefully and away from Harm and Strife,though he won't hesitate to answer the call of Battle to defend his people

## Personality

Garmr is very Set in his ways,preferring to do things his own way rather than following others,believing if he won't do something,nobody else will,Garmr often prides himself in his Tactical Judgement and Analytical Assessment of A Situation,which gave him the title of "God's Eye",his Often Cold and Pragmatic Outlook towards outsiders isn't coldness or any actual hatred,it's Apathy,Garmr doesn't really **Care** Per Say,one of the tougher parts of being sheltered in the underworld is that he really,REALLY doesn't know how to be Emotional,often simply preferring to Sequester himself in his work or Manage his kingdom than confuse himself by trying to Understand Humans,which sometimes makes people wonder if he has emotions in the first place,though he has been learning

One thing that **Will** Draw his Ire without question is anyone Harming or Otherwise Messing with his people,Garmr may not care for outsiders but he will not hesitate to slaughter those who dare mock,insult,Deride or otherwise Handle his followers with Cruelty or Derision,Garmr is an Unhesitating Murder Machine when Provoked,something that often results in Deaths,MANY Deaths,which is against his usually Pacifistic yet Apathetic Nature,but Garmr gets so lost in his Wrath that he forgets himself when angered,due to being so rarely angry the emotion feels........bizarre,almost Foreign,not like Haru's constant "Happy Happy" Attitude,Garmr is genuinely afraid of going too far one day that he only dampens his emotions even further

Garmr's Love for his Bride Irene is something that alot of people find very questionable,considering the Stoic King isn't one for Emotion,and yet there he is,loving a woman who is known for her Almost Casual Cruelty,and yet he loves the Scarlet Despair to the point of Declaring War on those who would dare INSINUATE anything bad about her,but he won't take anyone thinking he's just a figurehead,and would frequently only ask for Irene's advice,and make the decisions himself,though there are times when he just enjoys her presence without even saying anything,just enjoying her Presence and the soothing effect they have for each other. This was shown during his adventures in Warriors Orochi 5, where he was absolutely devastated to hear that Erza not only doesn't know who her father is, but from where Erza hails from is where his wife died. It didn't take long until Taigong Wang manages to snap him out of his depression though that hasn't stopped him from waging war against Nuwa for manipulating his emotions for her own benefit.

He absolutely Despises being Questioned,because in his eyes anyone who questions him doesn't trust in his decisions,but he at least makes an effort to hear them out,if he sees their advice is sound and actually Logical he will follow it,if it's just a bunch of Malarkey he'll do things his own way,regardless of the Risks,at the end of the day he's a Broken shell of a man trying to Reform himself,his beloved Dragon Queen by his side,however with the crew's constant Meddling(Like choosing to aid his brother instead of him in a near Civil War) it slowly seems like the circle of people he can trust is Thinning and Thinning,now only truly trusting Irene and his People,only really Staying with them due to believing he could trust them,though by the day it seems like the chances of that are Lessening and Lessening. On the other hand, this pretty much made him a big target for Tamamo to full convert him to her cause.

## Story

Garmr Medusiana is the son of Poseidon and Medusa,Born on the Shapeless Isle after a Year long Pregnancy,Medusa knew she couldn't raise her son on her own,and knew Poseidon would care less,as would most of the Olympians,so in a shocking move she Begged for Hades to take her Son and Raise him as his own,Hades actually Agreed,enraged with his Brother for doing such a Slight to his own son no less,so he took the Child to the Underworld,and Raised him as his own,unknowingly when he was 420 years old he learned of Medusa's death by Perseus's hands......Garmr,in a fit of Grief,left the underworld to be alone,to sort his thoughts out,when he sat atop a Mountain,he was attacked by a White and red dragon,Garmr didn't retaliate nor did he hesitate,he was expecting his death at the dragon's hand........but the Dragon stopped before it could kill him,and rather oddly enough engaged in Conversation with him,asking why he was so ready to die,when he had so much to live for,after all,a god isn't normally so accepting of Death,the young god admits to everything,feeling like an absolute wreck,how he lost his mother,his birth father threw him aside,and how he basically had nobody to talk to

The Dragon,whose name is Irene,oddly enough Sympathized with the god,and told him her story,the two bonded over their Mutual Suffering and eventually started to travel together,Irene Taught Garmr Emotions and Magic while Garmr simply provided Irene Company,the two eventually fell in Love after 4 years of Travelling,Garmr shakily and Nervously Proposed to irene,genuinely scared to open his heart to another person,but Irene was shocked that her "disciple" felt this way towards her,before she accepted,Irene and Garmr married on the 5th year,when Suzaku returned to the underworld,which was when he met Yueying for the 1st time,Irene was genuinely upset that this person just acts like she knows Garmr when Irene knew him for 5 Years,this was when Garmr joined yueying's Experimental Crew,he actually didn't want to join,but Irene thought it would be a good idea for her Husband to Socialize with people,maybe to Learn how to really be Emotional,though sadly that decision backfired years later,when the Crew actually sided with his brother Plutus instead of him when a near succession crisis occurred when Hades chose Garmr as his successor when Plutus was the Heir,only Hideie actually stood by Suzaku's side,and to this day is the only member of the crew he can get along with

## Abilities

Garmr is a Master of Arms,though is Favored Weapon is the Mace,as well as the Spear,Garmr being perhaps the best Spear master out of the entire Crew,and actually provided a fairly useful Role in the crew when he was a part of it,now wielding his Mace Gorgoroth and his Spear Asarnil with Absolute Precision and Control only a man who trained with those weapons his entire life can assume to have,not to mention his Skill with a Bow and Arrow,capable of shooting down a Speeding Motorcycle charging at him at full speed,A Barbed Arrow to the front tire is more than enough to stop it in it's tracks

Garmr was Trained in Magic by Irene,the Scarlet Despair teaching her Disciple/Husband all she could in the fields of Elemental Magic,Garmr actually taught himself how to use Blood Magic and even invented Necromancy in an attempt to resurrect his mother,which succeeded,Garmr isn't so cruel as to use Blood magic but when he's outnumbered he won't hesitate to raise the dead to serve him to wipe out his foes with an overwhelming tide of Weapons and Flesh

Garmr is also a Competent General,capable of leading the vast Legions of the Underworld with their many,MANY Different Generals and Warriors,Garmr being a very Adaptable General capable of handling many situations no matter what,and actually is more comfortable fighting alongside others than fighting alone,because in his eyes,it compliments his skills better if he has Backup,though it led to him being seen as slightly cowardly

## Voice Actors

* Robin Atkin Downes - Dynasty Warriors Bloodlines: The Re-Do (English)

## Tropes

* Ax-Crazy - The result of his Face-Heel turn made him this.
* Berserk Button - Like the two before him, he doesn't tolerate incompetence, as shown when he was not happy over Deng's mental instability, coldly saying that she became her father in the actual history. He also doesn't think that Haru's optimism is a real thing, as he had known of why she really smiles. Yueying had stated that since Garmr hated the entire concept of peace, he never got to understand true emotions until she came along to help him along the way.
* Brutal Honesty - It's starting to be a trope, but Garmr fits this to a tee. As brutal as his words proved to be, he is actually right in calling people out for their screwups. As such, he was brutally honest about why he was right in destroying a valuable item for the crew since the crew, minus Hideie himself, took something that was rightfully his (The right to rule).
* Contrasting Sequel Main Character - He is vastly different than both Zu Mao and Suzaku Vermillion, the latter being his other self. While Zu Mao and Suzaku have both fell into despair multiple times, Garmr, however, doesn't understand emotions well, such as when he thought he lost his wife, he immediately got confused over the process. While Zu Mao ends up getting removed from the crew due to his behavior and Suzaku leaving due to family issues, Garmr immediately grew an pronounced hatred towards his former friends for siding with his brother instead of Garmr himself. And like Suzaku, Garmr's animosity died down when he finally understood what other emotions are. It still doesn't mean Garmr is ok with the thought of friendship if it wouldn't last long regardless.
* Fatal Flaw - A flaw that even Taigong Wang felt sorry for. His ignorance to listen to reason, no matter how reasonable people are. According to Irene, this was likely because of his own issues with people and how they broke his trust one too many times. This came to a head during the Convergence when Garmr was betrayed by ***EVERYONE*** for ignoring Nuwa and Haru's warnings about Abyss' true intentions on Naotora, proving Nuwa's point about his ignorance and trust issues.
* Face-Heel Turn - In Warriors Orochi 5, his actions at the Convergence (Bo Wan Po) made everyone turn on him (Even Abyss and Erza Scarlet, no less!) because he thought it would be right to **KILL** Naotora because he found her the reason why Erza Scarlet (From the actual Fairy Tail world) was trapped in her own dimension. He does this every time he either gets betrayed or hurt by someone he loves.
* Half-Trigger Temper -
* Hates Being Alone - According to Taigong Wang, Garmr really has a lot of problems being left alone. Case in Point: The Convergence pretty much broke him to the point that he rarely sides with anyone except Tamamo, who he first turned to when he really had no one left to be with. It's why he sided with Tamamo in the first place since he was bitter over the implications that Irene is dead. When asked if he had any jealousy against the crew, Garmr admits that he was upset over how the crew had grown into a family during their adventures when he first met them, considering that he was left alone in his own world prior to meeting them (He was separated from Irene for a long time)
* Heroic BSOD - He ends up getting one due to the crew, except Hideie, siding with his brother over him, seeing it as an act of betrayal. He also suffers from another one when he discovers that from where Erza hails from is where his wife is considered dead during Abyss' merging. And also, he gets one again during the Convergence when him being the one responsible for killing Naotora made everyone turn on him. Naturally, if things don't go his way, he would break down and sob because of his hard work being taken away from him at the last second.
* Not So Stoic - Due to his character development, he is now able to understand emotions rather well. On the other hand, this backfired horribly on him.
* Sprite/Polygon Mix - In one of the most oddest cases, Garmr's art style is 2D in Warriors Orochi 5, in a similar fashion to Sterk when he debuted in Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate. When compared to the models of the WO series, this is seen as rather jarring to see Garmr having conversations with Taigong Wang in that style. Seems to be justified considering where exactly he hails from.
* Tall, Dark and Handsome - Is one of the tallest characters in the series.
* The Reason You Suck Speech - Unlike Mao and Suzaku, Garmr sometimes would get this because of his ignorance to help anyone but his own faction, no matter how many times the crew nor anyone else that Garmr met said sorry. In his defense, however, he thinks that there's no need to talk to people who can't even back up their own claims. On the terms with Garmr, however, he delivers one to Deng after discovering about the succession wars in the Re-Do reality, saying that people like her shouldn't lead an kingdom in her state, ignoring the fact she was forced to by Zhang Zhao.
* The Rival - To Kaguya, oddly enough, even though Kaguya doesn't understand why Garmr doesn't like her a lot. This was likely because Garmr was annoyed at Kaguya because she declined his request for taking
* The Stoic - Considering his background, he doesn't understand pure emotions, such as rage, love and such.
* Trust Issues - The entire reason why Nuwa and the Cleric doesn't trust him a lot. Because of his own problems, Nuwa and the Cleric are entirely convinced that Garmr doesn't trust anyone except his wife and his army. Of course, Nuwa's point became vaild when Garmr deliberately killed Naotora for accidentally trapping Erza in her own dimension during the Convergence.

## Trivia

* Despite that Garmr is actually Suzaku from a different point of time, he's his own character history wise due to the pages revealing that Garmr hails from the World of Fairy Tail as it was revealed he is Irene's wife from another point of time, which was why Garmr made his debut as part of the Orochi side since Erza Scarlet was confirmed to be playable.
* Even though he's Suzaku from another point in time, he still has the Vermillion birthright because he's Suzaku from a different reality than his own.
