Garek comes from a noble family fallen on hard times. After training to become a Knight of Solamnia in his youth, he was rejected by the Knights of the Crown and left home to become a mercenary and rebuild his family fortune. He was hired by the Green Dragonarmy to help keep order in Pashin. He would abuse his position and authority to extort protection money from local businesses and line his pockets. He ran afoul of Arthur and Agnes after shaking down the owner of the Wounded Crow Inn. He was defeated and Arthur confiscated his sword, Bloodletter, which was later passed to the guide, Davaa. Garek swore revenge, pursuing them across Khur. He was killed in the desert just north of Ak-Baral.

• Arcane Research (Ex): Gains a +2 Competence bonus on Spellcraft and Knowledge (Arcana) skill checks.
     Additionally, at every even level, he can add a bonus spell to his spellbook in addition to the spell normally gained through level advancement. This must be a spell from one the schools his order specializes in.
• Enhanced Specialization (Ex): Upon passing the Test of High Sorcery, a wizard increases his devotion to his chosen school of specialization. A Wizard of High Sorcery casts all spells from that school at +1 caster level. In addition, he gains a +1 bonus on saving throws against spells from his specialist school and spell-like abilities (but not supernatural abilities) that duplicate such spells. In exchange for this enhanced focus on one school, the wizard must give up one additional school of magic, chosen from among the schools that the other two orders of High Sorcery specialize in. He can never again learn spells from that school.

• Order Secret - Magic of Darkness: Once per day for every two class levels she possesses, a Black Robe who knows this secret can imbue a damaging spell with negative energy. Half of the damage dealt by such a spell is negative energy damage, and is therefore not subject to being reduced by protection from energy or similar magic (although death ward is effective). The remainder of the damage dealt is as normal for the spell. Undead are healed by negative energy, so an undead creature simply takes no damage from a spell modified in this way.
• Tower Resources: A Wizard of High Sorcery gains full admission to the Tower of High Sorcery in Wayreth, with resources available for spell research and the creation of magical items.
