However, the Garon present throughout the events of ''Fates'' is not the original. The original Garon was replaced by [[Anankos]] with a water [[Empty Vessel|Familiar]], planted in Nohr to bring the country into conflict with Hoshido, spreading chaos and destruction. Garon's role is changed depending on the three paths. | ||
====''Birthright''==== | ====''Birthright''==== | ||
Corrin decides to fight for Hoshido, refusing to follow the man who orchestrated the death of many innocent lives, including their now departed mother. Garon is not seen again until later on. When Corrin and the Hoshidan army arrives in Cyrkensia to begin their assault on Nohr, they learn that King Garon was at the Opera House in hopes of seeing the famed songstress Layla. Seeing this as an opportunity to kidnap the King, Corrin's forces have Zola disguise Azura as Layla in order to pull it off. Despite Azura's dance, which caused mild discomfort in King Garon, he reveals that he was aware of the Hoshidan Army's presence thanks to Zola. After Zola defects, he asks Garon to spare Corrin for the kindness they showed him. Garon viewed Zola's request as a sign of treason and executes him in front of the Hoshidan army and Elise, who was accompanying him and he makes his escape afterwords. | |||
Garon send Iago to attack and kill Corrin and the Hoshidan army, but he fails and retreats. Later, Garon gives Iago the power to awaken Fort Dragonfall to trap and kill Corrin and the Hoshidans, but this fails as Azura's song frees them, foiling Iago's plan again. Afterwords, Garon is shown in his thoughts, sitting in his throne, and disappointed that Iago failed him yet again and plans to get rid of him soon, but he has a "Plan B" that will spring into action anytime now. He decides that Corrin simply will have to be disposed of. He then erupts into maniacal laughter. Later on, when the Hoshidan army breaks into Castle Krakenburg after killing Hans, he once again sends Iago after them to finish the job. Iago fails to kill them once more and he is subsequently executed by Leo for good. Corrin fights and kills Xander in a duel, leaving Garon with no one left to defend him. | |||
After many trials and losses, Corrin reaches the throne room of Castle Krakenburg, and finally confronts Garon himself. Garon is "pleased" to see Corrin again, mocking him/her for making it this far. Garon tells Corrin that his family were all pawns for the war, angering Corrin, who is angered that Elise and Xander gave their lives to stop Corrin from killing Garon, yet he feels nothing at their deaths and Corrin declares Garon irredeemable and vows to kill him. However, when he/she tries to attack him, his/her Noble Yato is unable to penetrate his armor, and in retaliation, Garon launches several blows at them. Azura attempts to use her powers to weaken him, but Garon anticipates this and grabs her, threatening to kill her unless they listen to his demands. Ryoma negotiates with him, and he responds that it is a wise choice. Garon demands that Hoshido unconditionally surrender so its lands can be incorporated into Nohr, then states that he wishes to kill Ryoma. Garon sends a fireball at Ryoma, wounding him. Garon mocks Corrin if he/she will surrender to him, or fight and ensure the deaths of all his/her friends. | |||
Suddenly, Ryoma's Raijinto reacts to Corrin's Noble Yato, empowering it into the Blazing Yato. Corrin decides to test the new Yato on Garon, and he screams in pain, as the new Yato was able to injure him. Angered by this, He calls upon his soldiers to kill Corrin and the Hoshidans, but they fail and the Hoshidans fight and defeat him. Garon, refusing to give up, transforms into the form of the Dusk Dragon and continues to fight, but is eventually defeated for good and killed by the Hoshidans. Before dying, he laments to Corrin that he was long dead before dissipating into water. Corrin speculates as to what exactly he means, but is unable to come to any conclusions. | |||
====''Conquest''==== | ====''Conquest''==== | ||
Much to the shock of the Hoshidan royal siblings, Corrin decides to fight for Nohr. Despite their pleas to have them reevaluate the situation based on the tragedy that had just occurred with their mother and the innocent Hoshidan people, Corrin remains steadfast in their decision as they have unanswered questions that they need to confront Garon directly with. When the Nohrians return to Castle Krakenburg. Garon is shocked and angered that Corrin had returned, knowing that he/she had been in Hoshido and that they now know their true origins and his kidnapping of them, and agrees with Iago that he/she could be a Hoshidan spy and orders Xander to kill them. Xander refuses to kill his sibling, so Garon decides to confide with Anankos through an effigy in the ceiling. After getting his judgement on Corrin, he sends them to the Ice Tribe Village alone to quell an impending rebellion from them. However, Xander overhears that it is an attempt to make Corrin suffer, so he sends Silas, Elise, her retainers, and their butler/maid to accompany them. They are successful in putting down the Ice Tribe rebellion. | |||
Corrin informs Garon of his/her success, but Iago tells Garon that Corrin did not do it alone and only put it down because they had allies. Upset that Corrin disobeyed him, he nearly executes him/her. However, Elise and Xander tell him that it was their fault for sending help for Corrin. Garon, while upset by their actions, is still satisfied that the Ice Tribe rebellion was put down. Giving Corrin another chance, he sends them off to capture Notre Sagesse. Corrin and their small army manage to capture Notre Sagesse and also obtain the Rainbow Sage's power. Not wanting anyone else to exploit the Sage's power for their own purposes, Garon relays to Iago to have Corrin kill the Sage, which he/she refuse. The Sage instead takes his own life, and while Iago is annoyed that Corrin defied Garon's orders, he still informs him of the Sage's death regardless, which pleases Garon. Garon tasks Iago with making Corrin suffer greatly but not kill him/her; something Iago does not fully comprehend, but gladly complies with his order regardless. Garon orders Corrin to crush the rebellion in Cheve. Before setting off, Corrin reunites Garon with his stepdaughter, Azura, who was kidnapped by Hoshido shortly after the kidnapping of Corrin in retaliation. However, Garon cares little about the reunion. Later, he orders Hans to kill not only the remaining wounded Hoshidan troops and Chevian knights, but also the Chevian civilians. | |||
After the uprising in Cheve is put down, Garon heads to Cyrkensia and watches a performance along with his children. Prior to the start of the performance, Garon speaks with Corrin, stating that he is pleased they put down the rebellion. He also reveals that he obtained a letter from Hans, who had credited Corrin with most of the killings even though they did not participate in it. When the performance starts, a mysterious songstress causes Garon intense pain, and she flees the stage before Iago's men could apprehend her. Hoshidan assassins led by Kumagera arrive and attempt to kill him, but are killed by Corrin's forces. Recovering, he orders all the songstresses of Crykensia to be executed, to which Corrin begins protesting, confronting Garon about ordering Hans to kill the Chevian rebillion and states they should look for a more peaceful situation, but Garon states his desire to rule Hoshido and will do anything to achieve that task, even if someone disobeys and dies, shocking Corrin. Leo swiftly intervenes and drags Corrin away, while Iago and Hans set off on a killing spree. | |||
Shortly afterwards, Azura reveals to Corrin through a one-time-use crystal ball that Garon had died long ago, and that the current Garon is being possessed by "a demon" to spark the war between Nohr and Hoshido. Azura also tells him/her that in order to bring peace to the world, Garon must be killed and the only way for Corrin to prove this truth to Nohr is for "Garon" to sit on the magical throne of Hoshido's Castle Shirasagi, which will reveal his degenerated slime form. This means Garon and his army will have to conquer Hoshido in order to trick him into sitting on the throne and then killing him to end the war. | |||
Garon states that he wishes to discuss the Nohrians' next endeavor, Nohr and Hoshido will soon be engaged in an all-out war, the greater Nohrian army will set up base in Cyrkensia and immediately send troops to Hoshido, and states that they may be able to secure a early win if they catch the Hoshidan by surprise. Garon states that he tasks Corrin with leading the Hoshidan infiltration, and suggests going by sea rather than the overland route, Garon states that he suspects the Hoshidans will expect the Nohrians to go by land and may be ready to ambush, and that the Nohrians shall outsmart the Hoshidans at every turn going by sea, Garon states that he himself will head back to Castle Krakenberg, monitor the situation from there, and send reinforcements when the time is right. | |||
After defeating the Hoshidan garrison at Fort Jinya led by Yukimura and accompanied by Sakura, Xander assured Yukimura that they would treat the prisoners humanely. However, Hans and Iago start killing several defeated prisoners, and Xander and Corrin force them to stand down. However, Garon appears and surprises them both, threatening to execute them for treason if they try to stop them. Xander and Corrin reluctantly stands down as Hans and Iago kills more prisoners, excluding Yukimura and Sakura. Garon leads the Nohrian army as they march into the capital, with the locals taking notice and acting scared; the locals notices Corrin and calls them a traitor, prompting them to insult Corrin for returning after what they did to Mikoto, and denounces the Nohrians as monsters. As Corrin resolves to stay strong, Iago and Hans kill some of the locals and vows to personally destroy anyone who speaks ill about them, and daring any Hoshidan to cross the Nohrians and have their body drop. | |||
Having arrived in the area of the castle, Iago states that, as long as the Hoshidans live, those that follow them will never stop fighting, and they must eliminate all of the Hoshidan royalty and stake their claim, to which Xander states is low even by Iago's standards; Iago then asks Garon about his plan and if he can proceed, to which Garon simply tells him to kill them all; to which Iago states that he expected that response from Garon and Iago then reveals the plans for the invasion of the castle, with his men attacking from the rear while Corrin's forces go in through the front, to which Corrin reluctantly agrees to Iago's plan, followed by Iago stating that their forces will meet in the throne room. Upon arriving at Castle Shirasagi after defeating more Hoshidan forces, Corrin tells Iago that their army defeated Hinoka, and presents her lance as proof, though Iago is unconvinced. Before Iago can pressure further, Garon arrives, commanding him to stop with small matters, believing Hinoka to be no meaningful threat to them even if she were still alive. Iago agrees to drop it and as they move forward. Garon and Iago watch Corrin battle Ryoma. Ryoma is defeated and Garon goads Corrin to kill him, but Ryoma commits seppuku instead. Iago tries to have Garon punish Corrin for not obeying his orders, but Garon does not care anymore as they have what they came for; the conquering of Hoshido. | |||
Garon arrives at the throne room, but orders everyone to wait outside and not enter while he consults Anankos. However, Iago and Hans attempts to kill Corrin when they find out they spared Hinoka. Xander and the royals turn against them and without Garon to protect them from their wraith, they battle against Garon's loyalist, with Corrin's forces killing Hans and all of Garon's loyalists, while Iago is executed by Leo once and for all, further crippling Garon's forces and putting an end to their disgraceful crimes. With the death of Iago and Garon's loyalist, Corrin finally tells the siblings that the war isn't over yet and they have to kill Garon to end it, telling them the real Garon is long dead and the Garon they know is actually a monster and all they can do is put him out of his misery. | |||
Corrin and the Nohrians open the doors to the Castle Shirasagi's throne room, where they find Azura's claims to be correct as the throne has exposed Garon's true from as a slime monster, much to the siblings' shock. "Garon" curses Corrin for tricking him and attempts to kill everyone. Corrin attacks him. However, their Grim Yato is unable to hurt him, and in retaliation, Garon launches several blows at them. Azura tells the siblings to fight Garon, but they refuse because Garon is still their father despite knowing his true identity. Corrin begs them to put aside their disbelief and fight as he is not the real Garon, and all that remains of him is a monster. Garon taunts Corrin about turning his children against them and attempts to execute him/her, only for Xander to defend him/her. Xander affirms that the monster is no longer his father, referring to his real father as stern, but fair, not using his strength against his children or starting a needless conquest of another kingdom. | |||
When Xander tells Corrin that he will lend their his strength, Xander's Siegfried reacts, and the Yato transforms into the Shadow Yato. The Yato is finally able to damage Garon, who begins to break down and prepares to kill Corrin and his children. Xander convinces the siblings to not stand by while Corrin battles for them and help fight alongside Corrin to put an end to Garon and save the world and their kingdom. The Nohrian siblings finally put aside their disbelief and all declare they will fight Garon alongside Corrin, and the proper fight begins. Garon summons a group of mysterious soldiers to kill them, but they fail to do so and he is killed by Corrin and their army shortly afterwards, ending his reign of terror. Garon's death, as well as Takumi's afterwords, finally ends the war and peace has been restored to both Hoshido and Nohr. | |||
