Biography

Early Life

A member of Kindraa Sainze, Garrett was a Star Captain and a ristar during Clan Fire Mandrill's attempts to secure an invasion corridor for Operation Revival. During this period his impressive combat record was countered by the large number of Trials of Grievance and Refusal declared against him, often caused by his own rash decisions and impulsive behavior.[3][4] Though Sainze grew somewhat more thoughtful with age and rank, he never truly overcame his impulsive nature.[5]

Despite this, Sainze rose to become head of his Kindraa in 3053, and saKhan of his Clan two years later.[6] During his time as saKhan he generally voted in line with the Homeworld Crusader agenda, but would abstain or vote otherwise as requested by his Khan, Amanda Carrol.[7]

Sainze also suffered from severe headaches that would lead to minor blackouts, usually the result of dealing with the Mandrill's fractious Clan Council. Multiple challenges were declared against Sainze because of this, but they ended after he slew Star Captain Martha Payne with a spectacular one-shot kill.[8]

Khan of Clan Fire Mandrill

When Amanda Carrol resigned in 3066 after suffering a vote of no confidence as Khan, Sainze appeared certain to replace her but was repeatedly frustrated by the efforts of other Kindraa to prevent this. Only after a convoluted series of Trials and mergers between Kindraa, and the support of Clan Blood Spirit, would Sainze finally secure the Khanship, though divested of any real power.[9]

In December 3067, when the Grand Council assembled to discuss the news of the Second Star League's collapse, Blood Spirit saKhan Troy Boques nominated Sainze as a potential candidate for the post of ilKhan. Being amongst the many Khans surprised by this, Sainze himself completely failed to impress the Council. With three Khans being nominated for the ilKhanship, none received enough votes for the post.[10]

As fighting in the Clan Homeworlds increased during 3069, and inter-Kindraa strife threatened the Clan's very survival, Sainze and Loremaster Cassandra Faraday called for a Clan Council on Shadow. Intending to promote Clan unity, the Council superficially achieved its goal. But beneath this façade, the fractures within Clan Fire Mandrill continued to grow.[11]

Sainze would subsequently rebuff overtures from Clan Coyote in favor of building his own small power bloc in the Grand Council with the Blood Spirits and Goliath Scorpions. When the Coyotes instead made a deal with Kindraa Mattila-Carrol that netted them an enclave on Shadow, Sainze oversaw a month of brutal fighting and the loss of over twenty Bloodnamed Mandrill warriors before grudgingly admitting defeat. However, with Kindraa Payne-Beyl-Grant falling into dishonor following a failed series of attacks on Coyote holdings, Kindraa Sainze was able to claim the ilKindraaship by March 3070.[12]
