Character
♦ General
Garre'to Brenna was a member of the Gladiators' Guild during the first several years of the Seventh Umbral Era, who was eventually trained as a novice Paladin by the Sultansworn during their time of need.
After barely coming of-age Garre'to bore witness to the events of the Calamity before being buried in a system of caverns near the city of Ul'dah, where he remained for days before being found by Brass Blades searching for survivors in the territories surrounding the city. From then he lived off of the streets of the Sultanate, making ends meat by taking on trivial chores and jobs that paid enough for him to be able to feed himself. When he found himself wanting a better opportunity, he went to the Gladiators' Guild and pleaded for a chance to prove his worth. His first task was merely to hunt monsters outside of the city walls -- having never handled a sword, before, suffice it to say he failed in this most basic task. When the Guild wrote him off as another fool willing to needlessly throw his life away, one of their senior members saw potential and decided to take Garre'to in to train him in the use of swords.
Garre'to quickly learned how to fight and defend himself and was given another chance to prove himself to the Guild -- the "entrance exam" having consisted of standing off against two other senior members and last as long as possible before blood was drawn. The amount of which he had learned in the months since his previous failure had impressed the guild leadership enough that, even though his opponents had made their mark, he was unequivocally accepted into the guild. From there, he took more complicated jobs and tasks more fitting to his new lot. After four years, he had garnered a reputation amongst the city's inhabitants as the Silver Streak -- a warrior clad in gleaming white armor that moved as if as fast as light. His work around the city turned more into charity than personal gain as his rewards were always donated to help Ul'dah's impoverished refugees -- as little as they were.
Early Life
Garre'to was born on the 25th Sun of the 2nd Umbral Moon in the year 1553 of the Sixth Astral Era, and was the third-born -- the second and last son -- of a family of six. His mother was a "retired" adventurer and his father, urged by their mother to support the family, left to take up the life and was often gone for months at a time. Garre'to had an older brother, Garre'a, an older sister named Ghara, and a younger sister named Uloh. Their family resided near the seas in La Noscea (despite being relatively conservative Moonkeepers). Theirs was a stable home despite the father being away for most of the time.
♦ Appearance
Garre'to maintains a grizzled appearance, yet has fair and dark skin as a Moonkeeper Miqo'te. His facial hair is trimmed and groomed, hued black similar to his stylized hair -- which is black with white highlights around its bangs. Despite his relatively young age, Garre'to looks as though he had been weathered through many seasons with a rough complexion. He stands at an average height for his race at five-feet and six inches.
When not wearing his armor, Garre'to wears simple clothing.
♦ Behaviour
Open and charismatic even amongst strangers. Garre'to considers himself a bit of a socialite. He eagerly takes to the Quicksand most nights when he has no business with the Gladiators Guild to keep him occupied. When partaking in a few drinks at the tavern, he can oftentimes be heard exaggerating a host of stories -- whether they be true or not -- to anyone willing to listen.
Beyond this, Garre'to is usually a calm and collected individual whose focus on his craft remains steadfast.
Despite being a Moonkeeper Miqo'te, Garre'to has long since forsaken the cultural practices of his ilk. Through his time in the Gladiators' Guild he had drifted away from recognizing female Moonkeepers as being his superiors in what is, essentially, a matriarchal society. To that end he can be openly rebellious when with other Miqo'te unless they, too, share his ideals. Thankfully for himself he keeps more to an adventurer's lifestyle, remaining open-minded about the world at large.
Combat
Garre'to favors the use of a sword over anything else -- and his combat style revolves around the marriage of a sword and shield. The nickname given to him, Silver Streak, contrasts against this discipline as it represents the nimbleness and dexterity Garre'to is able to display when in the midst of battle. Quick on his feet even when garbed in heavy armor, he will usually use only one sword when taking part in a casual duel. Even so, he will often fight with just the sword against single enemies and when he has no reason to worry about comrades around him. In a group setting he will always be with a shield as he has been found more than capable to intimidate his foes to direct their attention onto him.
Many question his insistence in using fast movement and quick reflexes when encumbered by heavy armor -- however, this is a common misconception. His armor is adorned in lightweight and tempered steel plating, providing the illusion of encumbrance while allowing Garre'to to maneuver and breathe easily as if he were wearing leather armor.

♦ Miscellaneous
Hooks
The Name
- The name "Garret" can be heard in passing in every corner of Ul'dah and its territories, though no mention of Garre'to's actual name is ever told. To help with this, Garre'to usually refers to himself as Garret, but will introduce himself with both names.
The Gear
- Garre'to's white armor is unmistakable and easy to recognize by anyone familiar with Garret's reputation.
The Fighting Style
- When in passing across the fields of Thanalan -- and anywhere else in Eorzea -- Garre'to's combat prowess has few equals. A Miqo'te fighting in armor and being able to move as though unencumbered can be easy to recognize -- however, it is not often that he will fight as quickly as his reputation bids him to.
The Haunt
- Garre'to frequents the Quicksand in Ul'dah almost on a nightly basis.
