Garen

Garen is a Human battle mage who appeared primarily in Gaping Asshole of the World campaign. While traveling with the adventurers to close the Gaping Asshole, Garen has the personal goal of recovering the armor of the Star Knight.

Background
Garen was born in the outskirts Tampa, Florida to his parents Sara and Elijah, along with his three older siblings: James, Alice, and Martha II. Both of his parents believed in something called the "Magic Deep State". So in response they isolated themselves in a bunker to get away from the mages they swore controlled everything. .

Family
Garen's family lived in Tampa,Floridian since the great war. They were deeply relgious and saw magic that did not come from Prostaticus as an curse upon the world. Only Garen's grandfather and his brother saw magic as a natural part of life.

Early Life
Garen lived with his family until the age of four. On his four birthday Garen in a fit of rage after his sisters blew out his candles re-lit them with a burst of magic. After this some members of Garen's family wanted to abandon the young boy in the woods to die; thankfully for Garen his grandfather and older brother managed to talk down the more radical members of their family and they agreed to send him to the local mages guild.

Time as a Mage student
Garen spent the six years training under the masters of the guild before being assigned to Ying to be trained. Garen then spent the next nine years traveling around Phallica with Ying and his fellow student Vivian. During this time Garen and Vivian trained to be arcane guard for the house of Zorofian.

Expulsion from the Mage's Guild
At the age of nineteen Garen was given his final test to leave apprenticeship and be fully admitted to the guild, he was tasked with protecting the mage known as Waxon Waxoff. During their time together, Garen grew to strongly dislike his assigned mage due to his selfish and borderline evil actions. The last straw for Garen was when Waxon intended to leave a group of children to die at the hands of a necromancer, solely to secure safe passage through a cave system. Garen disobeyed orders, ignoring Waxon to instead help the endangered children. As Garen slaughtered the necromancers, Waxon Waxoff was killed in the ensuing battle. Although Garen was hailed as a hero by local villages, the Mage's Guild saw it differently. The death of Waxon Waxoff was placed on Garen's head as a failure to fulfill his duties as a Battle Mage. Under Mage's trial, Garen was found guilty of ignorance of duty, and he officially exiled and expelled from the Guild.

Garen traveled alone during this time until he meet up with Sahn,Phillip,and Nox.
