History

Born on Caph, to scientist parents who were studying the native dinosaur like wildlife, Garrett found his life growing up so boring he escaped off-world in his mid-teens. Once independent, he lived on luck and winged it through life, often achieving better results than many who had a more methodical approach. Operating within the criminal underworld, and changing names so often his given first name was not known even to intelligence agencies, Garrett did however accumulate underworld enemies, including one who gave him his prominent cranial scar (and the nickname Skullcap which came with it).

Joining the Prince's Men soon after their formation, either for the thrill or to seek protection from his criminal past, it was unknown where he acquired his impressive skills as a MechWarrior.[1] With the Swordsworn however, he lost a number of light scout 'Mechs, including to an ambush by a JES II Strategic Missile Carrier in an unspecified battle.[2] In another engagement his 'Mech and the light combat vehicles under his command were destroyed by an enemy Legionnaire, leaving Garrett to do further recon on foot after ejecting.[3] After one such ejection, Garrett was forced to slog all night through leech-infested swamps, in order to reconnect with his unit's Quaestor Mobile Tactical Command HQ which was commanded by a Major Carlson.[4]

BattleMech

Garrett was known to have piloted a Spider BattleMech, nicknamed "Dino Killer".[1]
