Garet

Garet is a seventeen year old Mars Adept. Garet is best friends with Isaac and Jenna, and he accompanies Isaac on the quest to stop Saturos and Menardi from lighting the Elemental Lighthouses. Garet generally fits the bill of a typical "big and strong, but not uoo bright" sort of sidekick to Isaac in the story. He is often brash and hot tempered, oafish, clumsy, and carries a general lack of focus on important matters at hand. Nonetheless, he trusts Isaac completely, and his supportiveness and loyalty to him and his other friends are without question.

Background
Garet is the second of three grandchildren of the Mayor of Vale. He has a flower-loving elder sister (her name is implied to be Kay Jerra by Golden Sun's Debug Room) and a spunky kid brother (his name is equally implied as Aaron Jerra). Out of himself, Isaac, and Jenna, he was the only one not to have lost a loved one in the Mt. Aleph boulder disaster.

In Golden Sun
At first, Garet is reluctant to pursue and defeat Saturos' band as Isaac was charged by the Wise One, especially considering the Mars Adepts' fearsome powers and the fact that their former friend Felix is among their ranks, but he soon willingly takes up his sword to support Isaac’s objective with his Mars Psynergy and capable swordsmanship. Oftentimes, however, he is a source of comic relief, the first example of which is when Garet climbs onto Isaac's roof to meet him and accidentally pokes holes in it with his clumsy footing.

In Golden Sun: The Lost Age
Garet shows selfless bravery at the Jupiter Lighthouse when a trap set by Karst and Agatio causes Mia to fall, and Garet risk death to jump down to save her, though he injures his arm doing so. While he tries to console the rest of his friends in the face of their apparent tragedy atop Mars Lighthouse, Garet momentarily experiences the pain of a true loss of his own when Vale is erased by Alchemy's return and all of his family is believed to be gone forever. Of course, he realizes he is not alone when it is revealed that the Wise One saved the townspeople and his family by evacuating them out of Vale before its destruction.

Fan influence
Garet is often grouped with Jenna in a genre of romantic fan fiction called Flameshipping.
