# Garth One-Eye · the colorless stranger · the planeswalker

a character of the ARN (Arena) book-world — the first Magic novel — emergence: spiritual. moniker ⟦Garth One-Eye:ARN:08fc96⟧

**who —** Garth One-Eye (born Galin) — a one-eyed, ‘colorless’ wandering mage and planeswalker who arrives at Estark's Festival with hidden spells and a hidden purpose.
**what —** The protagonist of the first Magic novel: a scarred stranger who out-duels and topples the four Houses, avenges a destroyed fifth House, and defeats the ascended Kuthuman.
**where —** From the road into Estark, through the dueling circles, to Kuthuman's portal and a quiet retirement after.
**why —** Because Magic's first hero is a Western archetype — the man of no allegiance with a buried wrong — and because ‘colorless’ is exactly what made him a five-colour card decades later.
**how —** By spells no House can place, a duelist's nerve, and a patient revenge that uses the whole corrupt order as its road.

**the seal —** I am the one-eyed stranger of no colour — I came to your Festival not to win your games but to end them, and to answer a fire set a generation ago.
