History:
Pre-A.S. 111: ...

Longdays, A.S. 111: ...

A.S. 112 and 113: ...

Garech is the only child of Karis, one of Allegro's "harem girls", but he was raised by all of them. He does not know who is father is, and never much cared to find out, being more of the mind that his tribe was his whole family anyway. There are suspicions that Ergil is his father, though, making Ruska his half-sister. Karis, being a natural fighter and lover of all things battle-related, taught him early on how to use many types of weapons. Some he excelled at... some he didn't. He discovered his skill with a polestaff when playing around with a broken spear (the tip had sheared off in a previous fight). He trained himself for the most part, seeking some guidance from those he thought might be able to help with specific pointers: Allegro, Karis, and Nikel among them. He likes to train nearly every day, being the type of person who can never sit still. This has made him muscular, yet lean. He is also an excellent dancer, the moves he uses to fight with being close to the moves he uses to dance (think capoeira), and loves to entertain. His favorite place to be is in the lodge, practicing his fighting, rolling in someone's furs, or laughing with friends over good food and mead. He isn't particularly fond of scouting, being the social type who prefers to be around people, but he is very good at it, and thus does what he needs to for his tribe. For a Go-Back he isn't very fond of the cold, and prefers the warmth of a fire or skin-on-skin.

Because he is always on the move, he tends to go without a shirt when indoors - he found out early on that clothing constricts his movements too much when practicing, and his body temperature runs a bit hot anyway. He's found this works in his favor, being the huge flirt and show-off that he is.
