After Seth Ward was murdered in [[Tharkad]] in 3143, Garner been tasked by Khan Seth Ward to oversee training warriors, in which he succeed, greatly increasing the new warriors survival. Alaric Ward ordered him the same work, and also to better equip and train ''solahma'' warriors.<ref>''Children of Kerensky'', p. 75</ref>

After Seth Ward was murdered in [[Tharkad]] in 3143, Garner did not take his place, instead the young [[ristar]] [[Alaric Ward]] replaced Seth Ward soon after. Kerensky kept his position of saKhan until the year [[3145]] when he was replaced by [[Anastasia Kerensky]] in unknown circumstances.<ref name=" ShatteredSphere-24">''Shattered Sphere'', p. 24</ref>

Garner's mysterious disappearance has drawn speculation in-universe. It was speculated than Garner may have died in an accident, resigned his position, or been killed in a duel with Anastasia Kerensky. The true reason and the reason the Wolves are keeping quiet about it remain a mystery.<ref name="ShatteredSphere-24"/> In fact, the reality was much less dramatic: Garner was alive, and seemed to have step down as saKhan, by his own will or under orders of Alaric. In fact, it appears he still had Alaric Ward's trust, as the year [[3150]], the Wolf Khan mentioned him having returned to realize a mission outside the Wolf Empire territory.<ref name> ''Divided We Fall'', ch. 1</ref>

The reality, however, was very simple: Alaric Ward had made Garner "disappear" by sending him on a secret mission to recover the legendary [[WarShip]] ''[[McKenna's Pride]]'', hidden years earlier in the [[Dark Nebula]]. [[Operation ICON]] was a success. Afterwards, Garner's team carried the ancient WarShip to [[Wolf Empire|Wolf territory]], where Alaric declared the vessel his command ship. Immediately afterward, Garner regained his post of saKhan, leading the Wolf assault on Terra.<ref name="COK171-172">''Children of Kerensky'', pp. 171–172</ref>

During the assault on Terra, Garner initially served under Alaric's command, but after landing in Asia, they were separated: the Khan led one army to America while Garner led another force, composed by Alpha and Iota galaxies, toward Europe. On 21 February, he led the assault on the Volga redoubt, where he was close to defeating the Republic's garrison when Alaric arrived with his forces as reinforcements. Regardless, the Khan congratulated Garner for his strategy and victory.<ref>''Hour of the Wolf'', pp. 130–135</ref>

Garner's original 'Mech was said to have been a ''[[Timber Wolf]]'', but during the Terra's campaign, it required a full refit, so he replaced it with a ''[[Blood Reaper]]''.<ref>''Hour of the Wolf'', p. 130</ref>
