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 Laurence teases him, but does not have the courage to tell her that he likes her but Aphmau liked Garroth and never realizes it.

"Garmau" is the shipping name of them created by the fans.

His past was not a kind one. He was the firstborn son of the Lord of O'Khasis (Garte), and to stop a war, they were trying to force him to marry the daughter of Scaleswind, Nicole. He faked his death and fled, so did Nicole. Garroth now lives in Phoenix Drop, hidden, but is soon found out by his brother, Zane, who was the High Priest at the time. He is still at Phoenix Drop because O'khasis has given up temporarily due to an incident, that incident being a war with Scaleswind.

He 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 may not return his love. After a while, 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 then Aphmau sadly leaves 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 a tree, he suddenly appears saying "Lord Aphmau!  I-I thought you were Zane...".

Appearance
Garroth has blonde hair and sky blue eyes, and tan skin. 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.

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.

Relationships
Aphmau - Garroth is in love with her. In Season 2, Episode 9 'Dream or Reality' Garroth appears in Aphmau's 'dream' (or reality) and he kisses her.

Laurence - Laurence is like a brother to Garroth.

Garte- Father

Zane- Brother

Vyald- Possible brother. The only evidence we have to back this up is in the Side Story "Trick or Treating Misadventures Ep.1" Garroth, as a kid, asks if his two brothers Zane and Vyald are there.

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 at 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, 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 his shy attitude makes him so attractive!
