Biography

Garreth Rasequin Cartwright is the oldest of four children born to Lysanor and Taliesin Cartwright, commoners in the countryside of the Isles. Garreth and his siblings, Ector who is three years younger, Rosser who is four years younger, and Gvenour who is five years younger helped their parents on the farm for most of their childhood. His father would often take him out to move quietly through the woods, how to hunt and taught him how to track through the wild and the countryside. They quickly discovered that Garreth had a knack for learning new things and picked them up quickly thanks to an eidetic memory he possesses. It was his mother who introduced him literature and taught him how to read and write.

Over the years, his family has provided their goods to several of the large families of the Isles which allowed them to make a name for themselves. When Garreth was seven, he was sent to the Isle of the Giant Pearl to serve as an apprentice for House of Machuri. Thanks to his work on the family farm, he made great work as the house's stable boy. His responsibilities included grooming and feeding the horses as well as prepping them for the house's members. While working for them for a year, he received word that his family was killed during a raid on the family farm by a group of bandits from a nearby kingdom. With word of his family's death, the House Machuri offered to take him in.

He continued to work for the family until he turned sixteen when he enlisted in the army. It was there that he gained training in the use of blades, archery and unarmed combat. He did well in his training, picking them up just as easily as he had learning things on the farm. He also was taught the ways of surviving off the land. When he was seventeen, he married a woman he had met while he was training by the name of Isabella. They were deeply in love and, within three months, Isabella was with child. Nine months later, while giving birth, complications erupted which caused Isabella to bleed out. The doctors were unable to stop the bleeding and both Isabella and the child were lost.

Garreth was devastated at the lost of his new wife and child. In order to control his pain, he focused himself on his training and threw himself into his lessons. He quickly rose up the ranks through the army, finally earning himself a knighthood. He has been with the Isle's knights ever since, finally allowing himself time to greave for his lost wife and child. After a month, he seems to have gotten himself back to order after the signing of the Act of Friendship was signed in 661. In 673, Garreth was assigned to assist the betrothal between the nobles of the Kingdom of the Isles and the Golden Lion. Over the next two years, Garreth continued to perform exemplary in his duties and was allowed to partake in the gathering of all the kingdoms, helping to provide security to the city and their guests.
