Garroth

Biography
Garroth is one of the main characters of Minecraft Diaries: The Rise of Phoenix Drop and Season 1. He is the Head Guard of Phoenix Drop along with Laurence and Dante to support him. Also, he became a member of the Jury of Nine in Ep. 100.

You see him doing his job of protecting others and is a very caring person. Even though Aphmau is oblivious to his feelings, he has an obvious crush on her that even sometimes Laurance teases him, but does not have the courage to tell her that he likes her and Aphmau never realizes his feelings for her cause he hid it so well.But still loves Ender even though it may break his heart.

His past was not a kind one. He was the firstborn son of the Lord of O'Khasis (Garte), and to stop a war, was going to be forced to marry the daughter of Scaleswind, Nicole. He faked his death and fled, and Nicole did the same. Garroth was disowned by his father because of his unwillingness to marry Nicole. Garroth lived in Phoenix Drop, hidden, tracked down and found by his brother, Zane, who was the High Priest at the time.

The only reason that he remained in Phoenix Drop is that the Lord of Scaleswind thought he saw his daughter stabbed, and pushed into a river by an O'Khasis guard. Having a very hot temper, the Lord of Scaleswind declared war on O'Khasis (forgetting Garroth), then allied with them after Zane minipualted him to target Pheonix Drop.

Garroth also treats Laurence and Dante as brothers.

In the last few episodes of Season 1, Garroth was corrupted by thoughts of Laurence taking Aphmau away from him. He was consoled by "Lillian", a follower and spy of Zane. With "Lillian" as his influence, he switched sides to bring the amulet to his brother after stealing it from Laurence. Zane used it to go to Irene's Dimension, bringing Aphmau and her party with him. Garroth fights Laurence, but eventually Laurence convinces Garroth that he must accept the fact that Aphmau might not return his love.But he still will have Ender.

After 15 minutes, Zoey appears with the portal and Aphmau is ready to make her escape with the others. Garroth proceeds to fight Zane to sacrifice his life for the safety of the village. Before she leaves, Garroth tells her he loves her and ender, and then Aphmau and ender sadly leave him. Garroth is left to fight Zane. The portal that brought the group back closed, and Garroth is stuck in Irene's Dimension with Zane. The portal can only be opened with a mortal sacrifice, or someone giving up their immortality to open it. (Like Zoey giving up hers)

Garroth is Zane's older brother but Zane tries to turn Garroth into a loyal guard and member of the Jury of Nine. Zane's plan succeeded in the majority: getting the amulet, Garroth turning evil, Garroth becoming a loyal member of the Jury of Nine, and taking away Katelyn's Jury title. Zane was betrayed by Garroth in the end, because Laurence talked him into snapping back into reality, saying things like, ''"Are you even listening to yourself?" ''Garroth is currently stuck in Irene's Dimension with Zane.

In the episode "Dream or Reality?", when Aphmau is close to the large tree, he suddenly appears saying "Lord Aphmau!  I-I thought you were Zane..." He then kisses her and explains his feelings towards her, and how he saw her and Laurance kissing in the woods, which made him jealous and refusing to let aphmau explain her confusion.

On episode 34 of season 2; Garroth is mentioned by Aphmau when she is talking to Katelyn about Jeffory's death. Aphmau says "I understand, if anything were to happen to Garr-... Er I mean I just don't want to set sail until you and the kids are fully healthy and ready..."

Side Stories

Island Vacation
Garroth is brought on a vacation to an island theme park with Aphmau, Laurence, and the others.

Carnival Days
Garroth is brought to the Fall Carnival by Aphmau and the others. He and Dante fight because Garroth teased Dante about liking Nicole. Later, he and Aphmau go through the haunted house together. Aphmau trips and falls on top of Garroth (creating the perfect #Garmau moment). Even later, he and Aphmau go to Dino Land and dunk Zane in the dunk tank. Haha, good, get pinkie cake.

Trick or Treat
Garroth and the other boys are accidentally turned into kids by Lucinda. Woah, woah, woah, nuh uh. They go trick or treating with Aphmau and wakes up a few hours later, still wearing his costume.

The Big Move
Garroth and Laurence think there is something between Aphmau and Aaron, but he is just helping them move. This causes Garroth and Laurence to do some crazy antics to find out where Aphmau is moving to and whether or not there is something between Aphmau and Aaron. In episode 4, they get Dante to give them an outside opinion. However, Dante actually encouraged their actions and told them to make Aphmau jealous by fighting over another girl (Michi). The two proceeded to interrupt Aphmau's movie "date" with Aaron, until Aaron puts his arm around her to make them mad. As a result, Garroth goes into his Jury of Nine form, and Laurence goes into his Shadow Knight form, but were overrun by Aaron's fangirl army.

Aphmau,Kawaii~Chan and Katelyn were moving to the new house and Garroth and the others move in the house across from Aphmau. Aphmau thought that they found her address which is true but they lied and later they found out  Zane was the leader of the neighborhood watch patrol and hilariously laugh at him.Later they fuzz about Aphmau coming to there house.Garroth showed Aphmau there hot tub and Aphmau  talks about her swimsuit which made Garroth awkward and run inside later they were searching for Aphmau and listening though Dante's door hearing some sweet stuff and Garroth ragingly bardge in and Garroth and Laurance embarrassed infront of Aphmau and Dante.

Appearance
Garroth has bleach blonde hair and sky blue eyes that twinkle and sparkle, and tan skin that radiates like the sun. In his first appearance, he wears a chainmail set with a grey helm, and a white section with a large black cross.

In season 1 of Minecraft Diaries towards the finale he received brown chainmail armor with a blue cape which he designed himself in the past which was given as a gift from Katelyn. In season 2 he is seen wearing the same set of armor.

When he takes his Jury of Nine form he grows in size and gets a full set of iron armor. There is a blue feather coming out from the top of his helm, and in the center of his armor is the same black cross on Zane's. He snaps out of his trance, but the armour is the same, except his face is a bit more faded, and he also emits some/a blue particles/aura.

In Minecraft Side Stories, Garroth wears a white undershirt, a blue plaid jacket, and blue jeans.

Relationships
Aphmau -  Garroth served as Aphmau's guard during her reign as Lord of Phoenix Drop during Season One, and soon developed romantic feelings for her, but was too introverted and socially inept to gather the courage to confess his true feelings to her. However, in the season finale, while they are in Irene Dimension, while Garroth is protecting Aphmau from Zane by holding him back with his sword, he briefly mentions that he loves her, but wants her to find someone who deserves her, possibly being indicative of Laurence. In Season Two, Aphmau discovers that she has the ability to travel to a strange dimension when she sleeps, and Garroth is also there. When they first appear there, the two of them are skeptical as to whether or not it is a dream, so Garroth takes the opportunity to abruptly kiss her. Aphmau is now contemplating how she feels about Garroth, after revealing that she has feelings for him in S2 E27. She feels extremely torn between Garroth and Laurance.

Laurance - Laurance and Garroth are blood brothers whereby they swear loyalty to each other. However, they both see Aphmau as a potential love interest, which has caused some difficulties in their friendship. In Season Two, Laurance explains that he will allow Garroth one year to get out of Irene's Dimension, which he is currently trapped in, until Laurance resumes to pursuing Aphmau, and if Garroth gets back before one year passes, they will compete for her hand. However, Aphmau feels quite uncomfortable with this agreement, as does not want either one of them to be heartbroken, and is unsure who she would rather be with, and simply wants Laurance and Garroth to be able to friends.

Garte - Garte is Garroth's father, and Garroth is his firstborn child. Garroth used to respect and look up to Garte as a role model. However due to his father becoming corrupt over the years, Garroth and his father grew apart. Eventually Garroth ran away due to his father having arranged a marriage between him and Nicole, the daughter of the Lord of Scaleswind.

Zane -  Zane is Garroth's younger brother. Zane and Garroth are not close, since Zane looks up to his father as a role model, while Garroth does not, and Garroth also opposes to some of the antisocial behavior Zane has picked up from their father. However, in Season One, Garroth was corrupted by jealously when he was convinced that Aphmau loved Laurence, and so he reconciled with his brother and joined the Jury of Nine, and gave Zane an amulet that gave him the power to transport himself, and everyone nearby, into Irene's Dimension. However, Laurence was able to talk to Garroth, and bring him back to his senses, and he realized that what he had done was wrong, and so sacrificed himself by holding Zane back with his sword while the rest of those in the dimension - Aphmau, Laurence, Katelyn, Emmalyn, Kenmur, and The Stranger - escaped through a portal created by Zoey. They are currently trapped in Irene's Dimension together, fighting.

Vylad -  Though they have never interacted to a significant degree, it is speculated that they are possibly brothers. The only evidence there is to back this theory is in the "Side Stories" (an alternate universe where all the Minecraft Diaries characters are placed in a more contemporary setting, and is not connected to the plot of the main series) during the episode, "Trick or Treating Misadventures Ep.1", where Garroth, accidentally cursed to be a children by Lucinda, asks if his two brothers Zane and Vyald are there, as his child self has no recollection of events in his adulthood.

Nicole -  Garroth and Nicole were involved in an arranged marriage, though they did not love each other, back when Garroth lived in O'Khasis, and this was one of the main reasons Garroth ran away. However, they do not seem to have any negative thoughts about each other, and appear to have a mutual disregard for one another.

Dante - Dante and Garroth are also blood brothers. They are very close friends.

Ender- Ender and garroth love each other but are to scared to tell one another because of regection.

Zenix: In the first season, Zenix was Garroth's apprentice guard and shot Garroth with an arrow and fled. He later attacked Aphmau so she killed him. Later in the series, Zenix appeared again and proved to be a shadow knight and immortal. Zenix killed the previous lord to get his immortality. He knocked Aphmau out and a character named "Kawaii~Chan" saved her. Zenix didn't make another appearance in the series after hat but was talked about and mentioned. Garroth still cares about him even though he had done some horrible things in the past. He was like a son to Garrot

""Ender-after she leaves her father and mother In the end she moves to Pheonix Drop with her friend ivy and never liked anybody but ends up dating Laurence and break up when ender learns he is using her to get Aphmau jelous then garroth gets feelings for her so does ender and both refuse to tell their feelings

Personality
Garroth is very kind-hearted, but is also very shy. He can become embarrassed very easily if you know how to manipulate the conversation the right way, and when you make fun of him when you say "you like Aphmau." When this happens he will often use the excuse that he has to feed a non-existent cat and runs off. If you feel like annoying him this is the perfect way to do so. He is very brave and selfless, proven by the fact he risked his life for many others.

For example, in Episode 100 of Season One, Garroth stopped Zane, so that Aphmau, The Stranger (Aaron), Laurence, Katelyn, Kenmur and Emmalyn could run off through the mysterious portal made by Zoey, who had aged 15 years, when at the time, he wasn't even on their side. But now he is becoming more comfortable with Aphmau (as we see when he is talking to Aphmau in the Dream Dimension).

In the sidestories, he and the sassy Dante keep getting in a heated argument, which always resulted in a fight (while Laurance feels like he's the mother of the two), sometimes because Garroth likes to tease Dante about Nicole.

In the sidestories Garroth will use a fish and throw it at people so the cats will "attack them". An example of this is the episode "The Big Misunderstanding" When Garroth and Laurence throw a fish at Aaron when they think Aphmau and Aaron are dating.

Trivia

 * Garroth's name is a Welsh name meaning "gentle", and is the name of one of the knights of the Round Table in Arthurian legend.
 * Garroth seems to have a similar appearance to Levin (especially Levin's 15-years-later appearance in season 2), and Levin even mentions people have told him this. However, whether this actually means anything is unknown.
 * Some MCD fans ship him with Laurence, along with the ship name "Garrence."
 * Garroth's voice actor is TheDragonHat.
 * Vylad is possibly his brother.

Shipping
There is a popular fan-ship called Garmau in which fans want Aphmau to end up with Garroth. The ship is at a stand still because Garroth is currently stuck in Irene's Dimension battling Zane but in Season 2 Episode 9, Dream or Reality?, in which they kissed, causing more people to be in love with Garmau. The second time Aphmau visited Garroth you can see him flirting and being more comfortable with her which causes more people to start loving Garmau.

Gaurence also became known when Garroth had Laurence pinned against the wall (in side stories) and started "flirting" with him. Also Laurence joked about if Garroth saw him that he would kiss him too.
