Our hero was born in Boston into a family with a long history of involvement with the sea. In fact many generations ago, or so he was told, one of his family members sailed with Captain Jack Aubrey on the Sophie during the French and Indian war.

Garret continued the long and glorious sea history by joining in his family run business as a midshipman. While on his tour of duty the ship was attacked by a pod of Storm Dolphins. While the dolphin brutally murdered the entire crew Garret hid in an apple barrel and listened to the screams and heard the splatter of blood and gore against the bulk heads. When he heard his father scream he fainted. When he awoke the screams were still coming, the Dolphin was playing with it’s catch, when he heard his mother scream he burst out of the barrel and killed the dolphins with his bare hands. It was at this point that his unforeseen physical adept powers awoke. The only surviving crew member, an old cook by the name of Smee, sent Garret to the only people he knew who could take care of the boy and teach him.

At this secret organization known only to the real world as "The Privateer", Garret learned to harness his powers, and the ins and outs of single-man tactical-warfare at sea. When he turned 18 his teachers told him to go out and earn the title of Privateer. So he left his teachers and returned to the real world.

After that, Garret went from outfit to outfit, improving himself, and looking for that treasure that would gain him the title of Privateer. Along the way he aquired a reputation as a deadly swordsman with a cutthroat approach to enemies and victims. Tales of how no one has ever escaped alive from the Dred Pirate Roberts have spread from the Carribean to the Ivory Coast.
