Garvin

obedient aggressive loyal authoritative dutiful

Garvin serves as verger at Devil's End church and enforcer for the Master, disguised as Vicar Magister. He guards the vicarage, cavern, and captives like Olive Hawthorne, wielding shotguns and physical force against intruders such as Sergeant Benton. Obedient to the Master's commands, he dismisses supernatural warnings and prioritizes cult order through direct confrontation and captivity. His loyalty persists until fear overtakes him in the face of greater demonic power.
