== Character Description == Garin was a foundling, an infant left on the steps of a monastery dedicated to St. Cuthbert. He was healthy, and the cradle and wrappings left with him were of fine quality; the monks were initially confused why an apparently well-to-do family would abandon their child in such a fashion. All too soon, however, the answer became clear. Whenever the baby became angry, bad luck followed the target of his rage; valuable items broke, hidden secrets were revealed, or accidents - sometimes injurious - happened without warning. Once the boy's talent was uncovered, the monks debated amongst themselves what action to take, until one elder stood up and said, "The boy is a weapon, to be wielded either by the fiends... or the faithful. If taught, he may yet become a hammer with which to smite the wicked. Let us not discard the mace that Blessed Cuthbert has placed in our hands." And so Garin was raised to become a servant of the Law, a servant of Retribution. The monks taught him how to control his powers of misfortune, but also impressed upon him the terrible import of never using them save against those who have earned the wrath of the Law. Garin took these lessons to heart, and the young man who stepped into the temple on his 17th birthday to be anointed a Knight of the Cudgel now sees himself as an incarnation of the Law. The Law is final. The Law is supreme. The Law may be merciful, where mercy serves the cause of justice; where no mercy is given, however, the Law offers only complete annihilation. Those who face him in battle see at first only a well-trained fighting man, and that is cause enough for concern. When they look into his eyes, however, they see the burning flame of zeal that can never be extinguished... ...and they know fear.
