Garl from Sea of Stars

Garl is the definition of a ride-or-die. He anchors Sea of Stars’ team of heroes with his positive outlook at even the darkest times. He’s always keen to cook up a good meal to make sure his friends are fed as they fight their way through the Fleshmancer’s forces. Garl accompanies his friends through impossible challenges, but he’s not there to be the hero. He shows that everyone has something to contribute, no matter their skill set, as long as they’re willing to help the cause. Each meal he makes is an expression of his loyalty to the mission and his love for the friends around him. While the hero of each story will be the one who gets statues built in their honor, it’s through the support of people like Garl that they’re able to accomplish anything to begin with. — Kenneth Shepard
