Garlan is a taller, bearded version of his brother Ser Loras Tyrell. He is five years older than Ser Loras.[3] He is an exceptionally skilled swordsman, usually training against three or four swordsmen, practice for actual battle,[4] but his lack of interest in gaining glory makes him less famous than his younger brother, Ser Loras.
