* UnholyHolySword: Garrison's CoolSword, which he had to seal in his wife-to-be Vionna's gravestone before the story's start. In issue 11 of the post-Kickstarter revival, the narrator explains that the sword [[IHaveManyNames has many names]] like "Thousand Cuts" or "Limbo", and cursed each of its many wielders over centuries, few of who could bear it for long. "Others have no choice." The sword is clearly related to Garrison's issues based on his furious reaction preventing Gully from touching it in the original run. [[spoiler:In issue 11, one of the new Martial Paladins pursuing Monika and Garrison accuses him of being responsible for killing Vionna during his wedding -- along with many others attending the ceremony, including the Paladin's baby sister. ''Nightwar'' ends with Garrison using the sword as an emergency SoulJar to [[SealedEvilInACan imprison the BigBad]], C'Drall.]]

[[ZigZaggedTrope Despite this]], she remains the most well-endowed character in the game and her starting outfit is actually a bit [[AbsoluteCleavage more daring]] than the comic book version.

** At the same time, he also resembles "[[RedBaron Ninja Master]]" Gara from ''Manga/Bastard1988''. As a shout-out to that series, ''Nightwar'' portrays Garrison as a GlassCannon, but has him use ninja HandSeals for several of his techniques.



* IWillFightNoMoreForever: Garrison promised Vionna, his wife-to-be, to lay down his sword. Not even learning that Gully had been kidnapped was enough to make him break that vow (he plays TechnicalPacifist and GuileHero to come to the rescue without a sword). The Maestro of the Marshal Paladins finally gives him a [[WhatTheHellHero What The Hell Hero Speech]] that makes him realize that he has to come out of 'retirement'.
* KnightInSourArmor: Garrison begins the story as a drunken wreck, leading to his cynicism. Even after he sobers up, it's clear that he's seen, done, and gone through too much to be optimistic.
