[edit] Biography

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Garth is a deaf, mute Rover who was responsible for the training of Wren Elessedil. He taught her everything she knew about fighting, tracking, and other such skills. Garth knew the secrets of Wren's past, but never divulged them to her until the end.

Garth accompanied Wren of the journey to the Hadeshorn to meet Allanon, who gave Wren the charge of seeking out the Elves. Garth stayed with Wren the whole time, despite a dangerous battle with a Shadowen. Garth also helped Wren on Morrowindl, where he fought multiple battles to protect her and the Elven people.

Garth met his end during a confrontation with the Wisteron, the most powerful Shadowen on Morrowindl. Its venom entered his system, threatening to make Garth a Shadowen as well. Unwilling to become a monster, Garth asked Wren to help him end his life. Despite her protests, Wren complied, and Garth passed on. It is unknown if he had any relations, and it is therefore impossible to know if his bloodline survived.
