Garif
skeptical
cautious under pressure
paranoid under strain
institutionally loyal
prone to panic
A Decider aboard the stranded Starliner, Garif enforces institutional control while masking his own fraught relationship with authority. His instinct is to preserve the veneer of order, but his actions reveal a man more concerned with controlling panic than defending doctrine. When crisis fractures the Deciders’ consensus, he oscillates between skepticism—even paranoia—and reluctant pragmatism, pressing for deliberation to avoid precipitate action. Though he repeatedly voices distrust of outsiders, his trust in allies frays under mounting catastrophe, leaving him torn between inherited duty and the imperative to survive.
