Marked one · Xaden's right hand · the best fighter in the room and the fairest voice in it

Garrick Tavis

“Garrick's wider, more densely packed with muscle than Xaden, his rebellion relic only extending to his shoulder, the second largest I've seen. Only Xaden's reaches his carved jawline.”

Fourth Wing — Rebecca Yarros

He's the biggest man at Basgiath and the last one who'd hold your mother's war against you. We notice the steady ones. We always do.

Xaden's oldest friend, the strongest fighter among the marked ones, and the second who's really the reason the line holds. Twin swords across his back, because of course.

At a glance

Series: Fourth Wing · Iron Flame · Onyx Storm — The Empyrean
Dragon: Chradh — brown scorpiontail, gold eyes, sniffs out runes. A stubborn ass, per Garrick.
Signet: Air-wielder — the one on the record. Turns a fire-wielder's own flames around.
Second signet: Distance-wielder — a 'walker'. Not on any record.
Quadrant: Riders. Flame Section Leader, then Lieutenant.
House: Tyrrendor. His father was Fen Riorson's right hand; he grew up half at Riorson House.
Marked: One of the 107. Relic second in size only to Xaden's.
Role: Xaden's right hand — the trustworthy one.

We're Caffeine and Curses. The Library started as my design research — I can't put Garrick on a shirt without knowing his relic stops at his shoulder — only Xaden's reaches the jaw — so we keep the notes here where everyone can use them. The pages are fan-made, not official; the licensed designs are in the shop.
