Once upon a time Garo was a man. Now he is nothing more then a hollow shell of his former self. The robe that once covered his body in life has become a part of his body in death, a spirit that refuses to leave the world until his unfinished business is complete. Under the somewhat unnatural shadows of the hood, a pair of bright green lights that seem to be his eyes shine against the darkness never blinking as he gazes out at the world around him.

Garo is... quiet and some might say emotionless. While a great deal of this was related to his training as a spy/assassin of the Garo people in order to make him an effective field agent, his current status as a member of the undead has resulted in what few emotions he still has to be... distant and distorted; Like sound underwater. While much of who he once was has been lost to time and his death, Garo's sense of duty to the mission that he had been originally given and his hatred for his target burns so brightly that it allowed him to cling to the world and continue on despite his death countless years prior.
The mission? To spy on the newly risen tyrant Ganondorf of Hyrule and judge if he was a threat to the Garo people; If he was judged a threat, he was to be eliminated. The failure of Garo and his team to kill Ganondorf (and their deaths in the resulting battle) stung more painful then the fatal blow from the dark tyrant's sword had ever been and Garo refused to leave the living world with his duty unfulfilled.
Garo is not his real name; As is custom of his people, he merely uses it as a code name while in the field. Truthfully, Garo no longer remembers what his real name once was, or really anything about his past anymore. Death and time saw those memories fade away because they weren't important to the task at hand.
While he is overcome with a desire to see Ganondorf die (Preferably by his hand but he'll settle for him just being dead), Garo knows for a fact just how powerful the Dark Tyrant truly is and just how badly trying to take him on without some sort of advantage can go.

Once there was a young baby boy that was born into the Garo nation. At some point the boy was trained to be an agent of the nation, undergoing brutal training to learn how to be both spy and assassin in an unforgiving world where a single slip up or mistake could result in the deaths of both himself and those few allies that he had around him. He almost certainly had a family at least briefly, friends that he had gotten to know over the years and he might have even gotten lucky and encountered true love (Or at least a happy lust). When the boy had finished his training and grown into a man, he was sent out into the world on dangerous missions. One such mission was to investigate the new 'King' of Hyrule and judge if he was was too dangerous to let live. The man never return from the mission, fatally wounded and dying alone after the trap had been sprung and they discovered to late that their prey was a lot stronger then they had considered.
But for every ending, there is also a beginning. A man died; Garo woke for the first time.
He knew that there had been a life
before he had awoken, but many of the memories associated with it were... hazy. Like shapes in a mist that twisted or disappeared the moment you blinked or breathed the wrong way. But the memory of his death still burned in his mind as clear as day... and just because he had died didn't mean that his duty to fulfill his mission had ended. King Ganondorf had proved himself to great a threat to the Garo people to ignore and thus needed to be eliminated... through the failed attempt on the tyrant's life had proven just how difficult doing so was going to be.
With grim resolution, Garo laid low and watched with the determination of the vengeful dead, seeking out a weakness, an opportunity to strike and deliver a vital blow at just the right time to push the power mad ruler into an early grave. While no such opportunity ever presented itself, Garo was a silent witness to the battle between Ganon and the Hero of Time; Watching from the shadows of the wreckage of the ruined castle, Garo thought that the man in green would have attempted to strike a final, killing blow on the downed Ganon only to discover that even in his weakened state, he simply refused to die.
Rather then try and finish the downed tyrant off, Garo watched as the Princess and the Sages sealed him away instead. This did not satisfy Garo's objective nor his desire for blood; No seal lasted forever after all. So... he decided to wait. He became an unofficial sentinel of sorts for the seal, watching it carefully in order to see when it started to fail.
While he waited he wasn't idle; He trained to improve his skills to the very limits and went out into the world in order to track down every lead, every possibly theory that he could come up with that might give him the killing blow he so desired against a man that by all accounts appeared to be immortal. Months became years, years became decades and still there was no solution in sight...
And the seal started to fail...

Sword Master - 10
The twin blades that Garo carries around with him (Normally hidden in his sleeves for easy access) are not just for show. Having spent decades, if not centuries refining and perfecting his form, few can face him in melee combat and survive. Stealth - 10
In both their roles as spies and assassins, stealth is of vital importance to the Garo. With the added challenge of being undead and generally terrifying to the general public, not being seen is kind of important. Shadow Magic - 3
Garo does use Shadow Magic, but only to a limited degree; To the Garo race, it is about enhancing their ability to move around undetected rather then using it as a method of attack itself. Pyromancy- 4
Fire is a tool employed by Garo to sow chaos and cut off their target from possibly reinforcements or to create a distraction to either create an opening to strike at their target or escape. Unlimited Stamina - 10
Being undead, Garo doesn't need to eat, sleep, breath or drink in order to regain his physical energy. He doesn't even have vital signs! In many ways, being undead has made him a hell of a lot better at being a spy or assassin then he could ever be while alive.Weather/Environmental Resistance - 8
Bad Weather is general something that happens to other people. Hot and cold, wet or dry, humid and damp really don't bother him anymore. Garo would be just as comfortable walking under a blazing desert sun as he would be marching through a blizzard or wading through a poisonous swamp. This doesn't mean that he can't be physically affected by things through; Ice is still slippery and a powerful enough wind could blow a man back. Unnerving Presence - 7
Between his physical appearance and a subtle aura of blood lust that Garo gives off, most living creatures tend to find his presence... somewhat off putting.Acrobatics - 9
Skill with a sword is one thing; The way that Garo can make his body twist, turn and move on a dime during combat however can be just as impressive and just as deadly.Literate-8
During his training as a spy, Garo was taught how to read, write and have at least a passing understanding of a fair number of languages. As the decades have passed and he went looking for information, he put those talents to use..::

To fulfill his final mission, no matter what it takes.
