Garon

Intro Garon is portrayed as a ruthless, cold-hearted man that has no mercy for anyone who does not meet his expectations or defy. He has been known to execute people on the spot without any sort of rationale, even in front of his youngest daughter. His ruthless nature extends heavily to his adopted "child", Corrin, who is constantly ordered to perform inhumane tasks in order to "earn his trust." Actions ranging from slaughtering innocents are among the most notable; his children either reluctantly follow through with Garon's orders or find ways to circumvent them, but they never outright defy him. He has also expressed cold detachment to Azura, his step-daughter through his second wife, going so far as to refuse a prisoner trade between Corrin and Azura. He shows little trust or faith in anyone, even his most loyal subordinates, seeing them as nothing more than expendable pawns, such as when he executes Zola for attempting to order him around and shows no concern when Hans and Iago are defeated and killed by the Hoshidans, even calling the latter a "useless pawn". He seems to have some form of fanatical worship for an entity called Anankos whom he consults over events of the story or to determine punishments for his subordinates and children should they fail in their various missions. Xander and Leo note that Garon has changed drastically in comparison to the man he was when they were children, though maintaining an air of sternness. It is stated that he would do things that a father would typically do by Leo and was a man of courage, honor, and chivalry according to Xander. Some even state that Xander greatly resembles his father in his prime on the battlefield. Garon was also apparently a ladies man and charmed the hearts of many women. In addition to his marriages, first to Katerina, and later Arete, he had numerous concubines who lived in the palace as he had difficulty breaking their hearts. He eventually fathered multiple children, primarily with the concubines.
