Personality[]
Garen is a stoner, spending his days smoking cannabis and slacking off. He can be kind of an idiot and also harsh towards others at times, but he is usually quite upbeat. Although he partakes in quite dodgy behavior, he is actually quite friendly person to those he likes, whilst being quite the opposite to those he doesn't.
Biography[]
Garen has been shown to be a friend of Jevik. However, he has been shown to mingle in particularly dodgy affairs and dealings. He also went to high school with Jevik and was known to make videos together.
On one occasion, Jevik hired Garen to break into Onipex's apartment and hold him hostage, at which point Jevik would charge in, defeat Garen, and save Onipex, as part of a ploy to strengthen Onipex's friendship with Jevik. The plan almost worked, until Garen revealed he had been hired by Jevik, angering Onipex and getting Jevik in trouble.
He later broke into Onipex's apartment again with Jevik and his girlfriend Jessaco, where they began getting high together and wrecking the place. Eventually, Onipex walked in on the scene and was shocked to see what was going on. He was presumably kicked out.
Some time later, he was visited at his apartment, by Onipex, Krone and Pyrex, all under the influence of infected mask. Onipex attempted to infect Garen as well, though to no avail. Garen invited them all inside to read to him, claiming that, "The Spanish have voices like angels," being stoned at the time.
He was later reached for help by Krone, who at the time was being harassed by Degrin, but he instead fell asleep whilst smoking.
Sometime later, after making it back, Garen was home watching television when Jevik interrupted him, bearing a camera. After relating the story of how he obtained it, he suggested that they make some videos. Garen then agreed to do so and the two set off. They met up with Jessaco shortly after. Jevik's video ideas, however, were of no interest to Jessaco and Garen, and after a few failed attempts the two began smoking drugs, to Jevik's annoyance.
Relationships[]
WARNING: The following is conjecture and is an interpretation of the canon found in the episodes.
Jevik[]
Garen and Jevik have been shown to be friends for a long time. During high school, Garen and Jevik used to film videos together. Garen and Jevik have also taken part in various questionable activities together on numerous occasions.
Onipex[]
While the two have not had much interaction, Garen sees Onipex as "dumb" and "ugly", even suggesting he get plastic surgery. He is often disgusted by and dislikes Onipex.
Garen later knocked Onipex out in The Camera Pt 4. During the events on Jevik? Pt 3, Garen helps Onipex in his search of Jevik
Jessaco[]
Jessaco was seen hanging around with Garen and Jevik in Higher, The Camera, and Jevik? Pt 3, and the two are evidently close. It is strongly implied that Garen is sleeping with Jess under Jevik's nose.
Pyrex[]
Pyrex and Garen traded insults, and didn't seem to get along. Pyrex did appear more submissive, as Garen threatened to hit the Matoran. It seems the two tolerate each other due to their mutual friendship with Jevik.
Zeb[]
Zeb and Garen have been seen going on wild escapades together due to their shared indulgences and Zeb appears to be Garen's go to companion when Jevik is occupied. Zeb is often seen passed out in the wake of their adventures, with Garen completely un-phased. The two seem to be friends, though Zeb may be more of a lackey or side-kick in the relationship.
Myto[]
The two have seldom interacted, but they appear to be well acquainted and on very good terms, with Myto even stating "a world without Garen is a world I don't want to live in".
Santa Claus[]
Santa was initially infuriated with Garen due to him destroying his property and jeopardizing Christmas. However after Garen promised to make it up to him, the two got high together, and the pair became friendly.
Their friendship was shown to continue into Jevik? Pt 3, with Garen calling him for help.
Devroni, Kathleen & Junior[]
Garen is Kathleen's Pilates instructor and her husband Devroni strongly suspects that she is cheating on him with Garen, even believing that his and Kathleen's child Junior is actually Garen's biological son as opposed to his own. Because of this, Devroni has a deep resentment toward Garen, despite only physically meeting him once.
While Garen has not confirmed he is Junior's father, he appears familiar with Junior during the events of Dinner and even happily greets Junior when Kathleen calls him in Lockdown. This implication continues when Devroni starts to envision Garen's voice coming from Junior in Pete-TA Meeting.

Trivia[]
- He is the only character to first debut in the comics, rather than the main series itself. This was because he was never planned as an actual character in the series, built as a slapped together Matoran to appear in Higher without even a voice. He would later end up becoming a main character, being a close friend of Jevik and Jessaco.
- Garen lives in The Tehktra Plaza, as shown in The Camera.
- Garen can actually be seen in Replacement, lying in a dumpster at No Man's Land.
- The presence of Garen's thigh plates was inconsistent early on in the series, with them later being dropped.
- While never shown to have a job, he does claim to be a Pilates instructor in Dinner.
