Garlan is similar in appearance to his younger brother, Ser Loras Tyrell, but he is taller, more broadly built and has a beard. Garlan is five years older than Loras.[1] He is an exceptionally skilled swordsman, preferring to train against three or four swordsmen, so as to better prepare himself for actual battle,[3] but his lack of interest in gaining glory makes him less famous than Loras.

While there, he speaks to Tyrion, praising his plans which helped save King's Landing from Stannis Baratheon's forces, and tells Tyrion that he is "made to do great deeds".
