| − | Garre'to Brenna was a member of the Gladiators' Guild during the first year of the Seventh Umbral Era, who was eventually trained as a Paladin by the Sultansworn during their time of need -- one of many to have joined the ranks of Free Paladins during the time.
| |
| | | | |
| − | 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.

| − | His short time in the Gladiators' Guild was punctuated with several events, mostly relief work for refugees and working crews around the city. He and a small party of fellow shield brothers came across several encounters of cutthroats attempting to indulge in the sufferings of the people, driving them away. The aid to the Immortal Flames and the Brass Blades had given him recognition and a bit of a reputation for being a philanthropic individual.

| − | After a year with the guild, the call for a higher purpose became sweet music to Garre'to's ears as he had heard tell of the Sultansworn opening its doors to anyone with the conviction and dedication to train in their arts -- the ways of the Paladin. Leaving his comrades in the Gladiators' Guild, he undertook the trials of the Sultansworn and passed through with stunning ease. From there, he remained a squire to one of the Sultansworn's veteran members for the better part of four years. In the year 1577 (Year 5 of the Seventh Umbral Era) he had completed his trials and was bestown the gifts and status of a Free Paladin.

| − | Garre'to was born on the 25th Sun of the 2nd Umbral Moon in the year 1553 during the Sixth Astral Era, and was the third-born -- the second and last son -- of a family of six. However, he had never known his family. From all accounts of the days following his birth, his Moonkeeper tribe was set upon by a marauding band of Ixal in the Twelveswood. He was found in a shattered basket by a couple of Hyur Midlanders who were a part of the investigation. Officially adopted, the couple took the kit to their home in La Noscea, where he would be raised among a small community.

| − | His step-mother was a retired adventurer, remaining at home to take care of her four children (including Garre’to) while his step-father remained on his path to provide a means to live for the rest of the family. Life continued uninterred for them all until Garre’to was well into his late-teens. Around then, it came to light that the father had run in and involved himself with some very powerful, influential, and spiteful individuals from across Eorzea -- most of this threat having been borne from the city-state of Ul’dah. Unsuspectingly, a group of hired mercenaries and thugs set upon Garre’to’s homestead, with the hope of drawing out his father. He witnessed the deaths of his foster family before he was able to slip away and escape.

| − | Friendly, casual, and outgoing. Garre'to often gave others the impression of his reliance on formality and a stoic attitude, but in reality he was an open and easy-going character, eager to engage others in hearty conversation of various subjects. He was honor-bound as a Paladin to protect those who were unable to protect themselves, but no code of honor would prevent him from indulging in his favorite vices -- alcohol and the feeling of a warm woman wrapped around his manhood being two of them. Indeed, Garre'to was an adventurer through and through, acting more as a brash and reckless mercenary than a noble and honorable Paladin. Despite all, he was trusted greatly by his companions and allies, reliable almost to a fault.

| − | He spoke with a light accent to his voice, though his speech was flowing and often upbeat but largely informal.

| − | Garre'to considered himself a frontline fighter. He skillfully married the sword and shield together along with his nimble and dextrous movements, which made him a capable equal against some of the best swordsmen that ventured in Eorzea. His movements were fluid and rumored to be as quick as lightning -- though there was never any substance to such rumors. That did not discredit the fact that Garre'to was still very light on his feet, despite being heavily encumbered by armor. Quick as lightning, though? ''Could anyone truly be that fast?''

| − | Considering his abilities in the use of a sword-and-board style of combat, Garre'to was encumbered by heavy armor of all types. His usual equipment consisted of the armor typically worn by the elite Sultansworn -- having been inducted as a Free Paladin five years after the Calamity. He kept it in a clean and polished state as much as he could, but would wear it into battle fairly often. When not wearing his armor, he had two outfits he would often be seen wearing, though the only difference between each outfits were the choice of upper body-wear. The one he wore more often than the other was a long coat, gun-metal black, with a gray vest and a darker-colored shirt underneath. The other was a simple red-sleeved doublet with a blackened vest. No matter which outfit he would be wearing, he always had on a pair of plated jackboots for simple defense and armored vambraces, for the same reason as the boots.
| |
| − | | |
| − | His equipment was another stand-out quality of his.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Garret's sword was, strangely enough, an elaborately-crafted gunblade -- modeled after a Garlean prototype recovered by raiders from Limsa Lominsa. It had a function that enabled it to shift between two positions. When "holstered," the blade was collapsed and locked into a section of the hilt; in this state, it looked like an unorthodox flintlock pistol, bent to be straight at the grip. Its activated state had it shifting out of the hilt, and extended into a one-edged scimitar. On the blunt edge were hooks that allowed him to effortlessly grapple his opponents' weapons with a simple twist of the sword -- the hilt also had too pieces extended to serve the very same purpose.
| |
| − | | |
| − | His shield of choice was a lantern shield, essentially a buckler with an activated flame core hidden underneath the metal plating, allowing light to be illuminated through a design of slots and holes along the surface. This served a practical purpose, allowing him to see in the dark, but was also used somewhat to his advantage by startling his opponents with the light. The shield had two swords slotted parallel to his arm, which Garret could use to stab if needed.

| − | '''Discovering the Unsung Heroes of Vylbrand Academy'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | During the latter days of his training with the Sultansworn, Garre'to happened upon an escalating scene in Ul'dah late one evening and became involved in its progression when he had decided to step in to attempt to, at the very least, break up the fight. When the belligerents took it elsehwere, Garre'to followed after a small party of concerned individuals just so that he could provide some form of assistance. When finally they came upon the scene in Western Thanalan, he and two others set upon both parties in an attempt to conduct a citizens' arrest. Shortly after, a larger group arrived to collect one of the involved individuals and bring peace to the whole situation. Garre'to later learned that this group hailed from Vylbrand Academy, of Limsa Lominsa, and the next day sought out the group himself -- interested in learning more about them. He found entrance into the organization almost immediately, and learned of the Academy's workings and institutions.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The day after, in the evening, he sat in the foyer of the Academy's main hall, surrounded by the Academy's pupils and instructors as they made jolly conversation. The impromptu proceedings were halted when a relatively young woman came to the door of the Academy and offered to sell a host of treats to them. Though they were tantalizing, Garre'to avoided eating for no particular reason. Eventually, he started to see it was a good decision -- those who ingested the cookies were stricken by some kind of curse, in which their minds were devolved into young children, and they suffered hallucinations as the night progressed. Above the Academy, a Garlean airship moved into position and the Academy was set upon by its air-dropped legion. Garre'to followed those who were of sane mind into the secret underground basement of the Academy, confusion overcoming him as everything happened so fast. They all escaped to an airship docked inside of a secret cavern just off of the island, pursued by the Garleans and their agents. It took effort for the ship to get airborne, but when it did they were once again set upon by one of the larger airships. Garre'to, having no other choice but to help, immediately manned one of the cannons in an effort to drive off one of the pursuing airships. Grappling hooks pinned the ship and allowed Garlean soldiers to board. In direct combat, Garre'to and others from the Academy fended off a host of legionaries as they boarded the airship. | |
| − | | |
| − | When, at last, they had a moment to breathe their ship landed on a secluded island far off of the coast of La Noscea where they could rest and recuperate. With this, he took the opportunity to learn more about what, exactly, he was getting himself into. He learned that Vylbrand Academy was some sort of a "front" for a secret project called the Unsung Heroes, wherein adventurers and heroes alike came together to tackle the world's problems as a group. After learning this, he found himself involved in something much larger than he had anticipated -- but offered his assistance wherever he was needed.
