TearRing Saga: Yutona Heroes War Chronicles
Role
Garo is one of the first playable characters available, and is also the only playable Pirate. He was sent to assist Runan by Holmes,[2] Runan's friend.
Garo has no real plot significance, though Julia approaches and asks him about the scar on his head. She recalls a man like him saving her from plunderers on Yr some fifteen years ago.[3] During that battle the man that saved her was struck in his head, and the wound would have left a scar like Garo's if he had survived the blow. Julia never knew if the man that saved her had survived, and she was curious to know if Garo was the one who saved her. Julia, who had fainted from a blow to the head during the fight, heard that the man worked for Vals, Holmes's father.[1] Garo confirms that he worked for Vals, but claims he wasn't on the mission to protect Yr, though he sounds unsure. It is left ambiguous if Garo was the man or not, though Julia appears to be sure that he is.
In one possible ending scene, Julia invites Garo to live with her on Yr.[4]

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Garo is an atypical unit. He's a competent damage-dealer at the start of the game, though, unfortunately, he falls behind once better axe-users become available such as Bartz and Samson. Garo is particularly at a disadvantage compared to other axe-users due to not being able to promote, and is thus never gets to benefit from promotion bonuses. He also suffers from terrible base skill which will make his hit rates unreliable, though his Sea Fighter skill can occasionally help with this. Garo will also never increase his low movement stat of a paltry 4 (outside of Sea maps) without stat-boosters, leaving him behind in the early maps where cavalry and fliers are dominant.
If long term growth is sought, Garo has a decent spread of offensive stats, with good growths in HP, strength, speed, and weapon level, although his skill and luck will remain poor. Garo has a nice skill pool, however he learns the majority of his skills incredibly late. Wrath and Charge are both lucrative skills he can't use until long after he's made obsolete by other offensive units with better movement, personal weapons, and the ability to promote. To reach high levels, a Super Proof is required, as Garo's inability to promote means his normal level cap is only 30.
The best use case for Garo is as a filler unit after the first route split. Given that many powerful earlygame units have story based events on Holmes Split 1, Runan's party may end up with a deficit of capable fighters. Garo can respectably fight against the large amount of armored and cavalry units with the Hammer or Poleaxe, although he will likely stop active use once more robust units are recruited, or if the player forgoes story scenes and delegates more powerful units to Runan's army.
Personality
Garo is a quiet man, and does as Holmes and Runan say without complaint. His tone changes significantly around women, who appear to make him very nervous. Around Julia, in particular, he stutters and often trails off, failing to finish his statements.[5]
Garo prefers drinks like liquor, instead of wine. He is somewhat disappointed when a celebration he is participating in has only wine.[6]
