Garen himself has served at the Guild of the Black Dragon for nigh on a year at the time of writing and is one of the guilds oldest and most experienced members. He is well versed in the arts of wizardry and was once a skilled cleric, though his skills in that field have dwindled in lieu of events in his past.
Garen is devoted to the art of Necromancy, using his respect for life and death and his skill with the craft to use the dark magic for good and prove to the many worlds that his chosen school of magic can do as much right in the world as any other.
Thanks to the guild he works with, he has grown more confident and content with himself and his abilities. He is devoted to the Guild of the Black Dragon above all else and values his own allies dearly, sometimes placing their safety and well being above his own. Despite his cold and arrogant outer demeanor, he never denies a guildmate in need. He once described himself as the "Shield of the Black Dragon", swearing to serve as the one who would always protect them.
"I am Garen Heinrich Verschollen! I am the shield of the Black Dragon! I have burned and suffered before... to me your flames are nothing! I will send you back to your void and protect those you have foolishly threatened!" - Garen, standing in defiance against the Avatar of a Sun who threatened members of the Guild of the Black Dragon.
Appearance
Physical Description
Despite being a Wizard and a scholar, Garen is a mercenary and spends plenty of time exercising his body and improving his physique in order to remain physically fit. He is on the skinnier side, but lean and surprisingly firm and muscular when examined closely.
Body Features
Garen's most notable features are his abundance of scars obtained during the tragedies of his past. A large portion of his face, his right arm, his right leg and a large section of his chest and abdomen are covered in darkened, knotted burn scars. A large singular scar obtained during his tenure at the guild also cuts across his left eye.
Facial Features
Many bloodshot nights and much experimentation with Necromancy has paled Garen's skin and caused his eyes to settle to a dull blood red. They notable flair, lighting up when he uses dark magic, with Hemomancy having the greatest of results in terms of said effect.
His brow is often furrowed and his features scrunched slightly with annoyance, but when he relaxes his age shows true, revealing that he is still quite young. He has been complimented on his smile before and his expression can be vibrant if allowed to be.
His nose points up slightly at the tip and he is secretly self conscious about it.
Identifying Characteristics
Garen is most easily identified by his scars, as well as his choice of clothing, wearing medium armour, purple robes and a shield with the guilds icon emblazoned upon it in obsidian.
Physical quirks
Garen's skin is very well maintained, resulting from the paranoia of his burns, as such he rarely if ever has any visible blemishes.
Apparel & Accessories
Garen is always seen wearing a pair of reading glasses, he can see perfectly fine without them, however doing so can lead to chronic headaches for him. When working, he uses a purple cloth ribbon to tie his hair back into a tail.
Around his neck Garen always wears a pendant he received some months ago from a certain God of Charity. It contains a picture of his brother Richard.
