Biography[]
Garlinius Gernix trained in the Knights Academy, where he was friends with the sepia knight. However, the pair fell out over a sky ship: the Storm Queen. Both claimed it as their own, but eventually the sepia knight set out in a different ship, and Gernix got to keep it for his own voyage.[2]
In 15 ᴇ.ʏ., a Great Storm arrived and Gernix was chosen to chase it. After his Inauguration in the Great Hall, he processed down the Central Viaduct on his prowlgrin, Vinchix. At the end of the viaduct, at the Loftus Observatory, he boarded the Storm Queen and set sail.
He survived the journey to the Twilight Woods, but his ship crashed in a tree. He lowered himself, on Vinchix, to the forest floor, but was unable to detatch the harness before succumbing to twilight madness. He became insane, dangling a few feet from the forest floor.

Garlinius Gernix, suspended from a tree in the Twilight Woods for eternity.
In 35 ᴇ.ʏ., after hanging from the tree for 20 years, Gernix was discovered by Twig as he wandered the Twilight Woods. Twig asked Gernix if he could hear him, but after hearing no reply, Twig raised the knight's visor. Upon seeing the skeletal face, Twig ran away in horror, but was unable to clear the image from his mind. [3]
