Gared is a hunchback assistant of Liliana Vess on Innistrad, after his former master, the geistmage Dierk, was killed by Eldrazi werewolf horrors.

Description

Gared has a hunched back and asymmetrical eyes, one of which is notably larger and more engorged than the other, giving him a somewhat monstrous appearance. His squat figure and peculiar physical traits make him resemble a homunculus. His larger eye has a reptilian quality, further enhancing his unsettling presence. He is often seen wearing a long coat, which he once used to help secure the remains of his deceased master, Dierk.

Gared is a peculiar and loyal assistant characterized by his eerie demeanor and dark sense of humor. He is dutiful and obedient, often responding to commands with a touch of sarcasm. Despite his grotesque appearance and odd behavior, Gared displays a sense of practicality and reliability, performing his tasks diligently and without complaint. His ability to remain calm and somewhat detached in the face of danger made him an invaluable, if unsettling, assistant.

History

Gared stood by Dierk's side as they delved into the intricacies of the Chain Veil. As their experiment unraveled into failure, burned ether and disappointment hung heavy in the air, but Gared remained steadfast, offering his support as Liliana packed her belongings to depart.

In the wake of Dierk's demise at the hands of Eldrazi werewolves, Gared found himself drawn further into the tangled web of Liliana's world. Together, they ventured to Lurenbaum Fortress, where the looming presence of Olivia Voldaren's vampires cast long shadows over its stone walls. Despite the palpable tension, Gared strode through the fortress with an air of quiet confidence, unperturbed by the watchful gaze of its fanged denizens.

When Liliana's parley with Olivia Voldaren concluded, Gared solemnly retrieved his blood-stained coat from the lifeless form of his former mentor, a grim testament to the perils they faced. Side by side, he accompanied Liliana on her journey to Thraben as she amassed a giant horde of zombies. Gared did not participate in the battle for Thraben directly, waiting outside while Liliana handled things with Tamiyo and the Gatewatch.
