History

Birth country: Ireland
Hometown: Unspecified
Childhood: Garnet, or Dylan, was part of a large family, with six brothers and sisters. He was the second youngest and got on fairly well with his elder brother, however, members of his family were prone to sickness, physical and mental. Often, when their parents were unable to care for them, his grandfather stepped up to assist.
Teen years: Dylan met a girl who he became strongly infatuated with. Essentially stalking her, he found out about magic and insisted she teach him about it. Reluctantly, she agrees, stating that if he can't get a hang of things, she has every right to wipe his memory of everything he's just seen. He takes quickly to elemental magic, with a focus on the earth element.
Adult years: He takes on the name Garnet Dorado and stays in touch with the woman he first met. He is pulled out of the world of magic when his parents' health deteriorates to the point where they need him home to look after them. One of his sisters, who is also ill, attempts one night to kill the other sickly members of the family and herself, dragging Garnet and his last healthy family member into the resulting fight. Garnet ends up killing his sister and finds his brother is also a low-level elemental. After all that was cleared up, they moved away and vowed to protect one another, though our buddy here found he really liked killing people. He started going out and targeting random people to kill, which led him to meeting Ricky Sloth when he broke into some kind of medical facility to target someone. They saved one another from imminent death, and Garnet brought his new friend home, using him as a makeshift medic and ensuring he got help for his own problems. Both men were away from the house when Garnet's brother was killed, but both saw Zebulon Regicide fleeing the scene and assumed (correctly) that he was the murderer. Despite Ricky's objections, Garnet tracks Regicide down and tries to kill him. Two other men (Mortis Grievance and Jayden Slander) also arrive to kill the same target, and the three get in each other's way, allowing the target to get away with his life. He is scolded spectacularly for this by both Mortis and Ricky. He continues to track down Regicide and eventually is successfully able to kill him. It is suggested he is already still in contact with Mortis at this point, and they are going around staging elaborate murders together, becoming very close friends. He plays no part in the war against Mevolent, wishing to stay well out of it. Because Mortis fights in the war, they lose major contact until the Necromancer is involved in a road traffic collision and is subsequently found unconscious and badly injured by Garnet and Ricky. They save him and are introduced by him to Jayden Slander. Until he falls ill, Garnet takes on a sort of den mother role around the other three, possibly because he is in fact the eldest, and then after a cancer scare, he decides to go on a long holiday. He does not contact his friends again for a long time after.
