A proud and noble warrior, Garen leads the elite Dauntless Vanguard as one of Demacia's most renowned champions. Born to the prestigious Crownguard family in 971 AN, he embodies Demacian ideals of justice, honor, and duty.
At age 12, Garen left High Silvermere to join the military. By 18, he had already served with distinction along Freljordian borders, helped purge cultists from the Silent Forest, and defended Whiterock. He joined the prestigious Dauntless Vanguard at 21, eventually rising to lead them.
Notable characteristics:
- Master swordsman wielding the magical silver broadsword "Judgment"

- Known for his unwavering loyalty to Demacia
Key relationships:
- Younger sister Lux, whose magical abilities he struggles to accept

Recent events have challenged Garen's rigid worldview, particularly regarding magic. Though devoted to Demacian law, he's shown growing acceptance of his mage sister Lux and recognition that not all magic users are evil.
As commander of the Dauntless Vanguard, Garen continues to defend Demacia while wrestling with questions of duty, family, and justice in an increasingly complex world.
Combat abilities:
- Expert swordsmanship

At 26 years old, Garen remains one of Demacia's most respected defenders, upholding its ideals while gradually learning to navigate the grey areas between absolute right and wrong.
