Garrow
A slab-shouldered digger boss who tried to steal a cold relic but was outlasted by Kesh's warmth.
Garrow is a rough-edged figure from the harsher districts of Kesh, arriving in Book 4 as the leader of a nine-man digger crew. Tasked with representing the brute force arm of Corvane's relic collection, he sought to wear down the valley and seize a specific cold relic through sheer persistence rather than immediate violence. His presence marks a distinct escalation from previous threats like Weller, bringing a heavy-handed industrial approach to the town.
