![[GarinRockharvestPathfinder-v3.webp]] # Garin Rockharvest _Dwarf Tyrant | [[Black Network]] | Deceased_ ## Summary Brutal and ambitious dwarf who rose to power as the tyrannical lord of [[Kessel]], [[Wade]]'s home, and later seized control of [[Phandalin]] with the [[Black Network]]. [[Wade]] killed him, and [[Petra]]'s [[Soulmonger]] abilities consumed his soul. %% ## Now _Deceased — beheaded by [[Wade]]; his soul consumed by [[Petra]], another voice in her head still dreaming of the [[Crown of Avarice]]._ ## Personality Ruthless and greedy, driven by visions from [[Abbathor]]. Dismissive of threats — when the giants demanded his head, he asked whether Stone Giants bleed. ## Connections **[[Dagrun Rockharvest]]** — father, of [[Citadel Adbar]]. **[[Halia Thornton]]** — his protégé in the [[Black Network]]; she outmaneuvered him. **[[Wade]]** — delivered the killing blow. **[[Petra]]** — consumed his soul. **[[Gex]]** — manipulated the giants into targeting him. ## Background **The Exile:** Son of [[Dagrun Rockharvest]] of [[Citadel Adbar]], exiled after his trespass into [[Vathurnax]]'s domain triggered a devastating [[Quaggoth]] assault. **The Mentor:** A ruthless mentor within the [[Black Network]], he taught [[Halia Thornton]] the intricacies of manipulation and underworld politics before she outmaneuvered him. **The Obsession:** Driven by visions from [[Abbathor]], the Dwarven God of Greed, he obsessively pursued the legendary [[Crown of Avarice]] in ruined [[Giltvein]], believing it would make him one of [[Abbathor]]'s Chosen. **The Death:** [[Gex]] manipulated approaching [[Stone Giants]] into believing Garin had killed their kinsman [[Tarnok]] and desecrated his body. When the giants demanded his head and Garin dismissively asked if Stone Giants bleed, violence erupted. [[Wade]] severed his head with Eldritch Blasts. %%
