## Biography

### **History**

The eldest son of Malcolm Hawke and Leandra Amell, the twin of Etheria Hawke and the elder brother of Bethany and Carver Hawke, Garrett has lived in many places throughout Ferelden. Malcolm was a mage, gifting Garrett, Bethany and Etheria the abilities of magic at a young age. But to stay hidden from the templars, both of the older set of twins trained to use swords and daggers to disguise himself when needed. The family was constantly on the moving to avoid templars and escape the chantry's iron fist. 10 years prior, the Hawke family settled in the village of Lothering, building a farm and making a life where they wouldn't forever be on the run.

When Garrett and Etheria were 12 years old, they had a run in with rogue templars outside of Lothering. Etheria was caught using magic to heal a scrape on Garrett's leg when they were playing a game of tag in the woods. Despite being terrified, the young boy tried to protect his sister from the men and women who threatened her safety. He tried to jump between the two parties, which resulted in the gash across his face from the fell Templar's sword. Garrett slowly lost conciousness, but not before his sister jumped in front of him to save his life, therefore dying then and there before him. Malcolm intervened a second too late as his daughter was struck down and his son laid unmoving in the dirt. After disposing of the threat, Malcolm held his eldest twins to his chest, one slowly unconciousness and one dead, sobbing. Garrett has never forgave himself for his weakness. He vowed to protect everything important to him.

Malcolm died three years ago, leaving his eldest son to save his family from all dangers.
