Sir Gareth Morrow

Appearance

Gareth is a well-groomed man with a disciplined look about him. His square jaw and stern expression suggest someone who has spent much of his life in military service. His short, neatly trimmed brown hair and piercing steel-gray eyes give off a no-nonsense vibe. He wears the standard uniform of the local guard, but there’s something different in the way he carries himself—an air of authority and rigid posture that feels more befitting of a high-ranking officer than a regular soldier.

Personality

Gareth appears to be a strict and orderly individual who doesn’t tolerate laziness or disorder. He’s the type who follows the rules to the letter, making it clear that he has little patience for bending or breaking them. He has an intense, watchful demeanor, always scanning his surroundings and keeping a close eye on his fellow guards. While he claims to be a new transfer, he seems unusually suspicious of those who work closely with Lorena, the captain of the guard, often questioning their decisions or watching their interactions with quiet intensity. He tends to keep his distance socially, as if he’s always assessing the situation.   Gareth often keeps to himself, preferring to watch others rather than engage in idle chatter. He frequently makes pointed comments about "duty" and "proper conduct," which can come across as more formal than expected for a low-ranking guard. He’s meticulous about his equipment, spending his downtime polishing his armor and sharpening his weapon. It’s almost ritualistic, as if he takes immense pride in maintaining his appearance. Despite his role as a standard guard, he occasionally slips into more formal speech or references protocols that seem beyond the scope of a regular soldier, hinting at a background in higher command.  

Background

While Gareth doesn’t speak much of his past, it’s clear he’s had a disciplined upbringing, likely from a family that values law and order. He claims to have served in various postings across the kingdom, though he avoids giving specific details. He’s quick to question any lapses in discipline or instances of favoritism, almost as if he’s expecting to find something wrong. It’s easy to notice that he doesn’t seem to fit in entirely with the rest of the guards, and he often seems a bit out of place—more like someone playing a role than a true member of the rank and file.

Quirks

• Gareth has an odd habit of addressing his fellow guards with an almost formal respect, using titles or surnames even when it’s not required.
• He’s obsessive about the condition of his equipment, to the point where he’ll even polish his armor while on break.
• When confronted with vague or unclear orders, he often pauses, as if weighing them against a stricter, unseen set of rules.
