How old is King Garon?


Recommended Posts

Possible spoilers from chapters 6-26 of conquest

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So I'm right at the beginning of chapter 26, and Garon has stated that he has waited for this moment for "decades upon decades". I am aware that this actually isn't Garon, but his possession couldn't have been too long ago. He also looks quite old, and his oldest son looks like he could be in his late 20's. There's even artwork of a younger Garon. So just how old is this guy supposed to be?

I think Garon could be around in his 40s or possibly 50s. I don't think that was ever explained it in Birthright route, but I'm guessing it wasn't explained in Conquest nor Revelations.

Nope, he just looks a lot older than that though

Where? I'm interested in seeing it.

I think late 40s early 50s, and the "decades upon decades" was Anankos talking. That was who possessed him right? Anankos could still wait before he possessed Garon.

Oh I was expecting like, Xander's age or younger.

Remember that the possession was from an ancient evil dragon, so that might have something to do with the older vibe.

When I saw him I thought "this guy is conservatively 80 years old."

I would say he's 50s in that picture.

That was my first thought. It wouldn't make sense for anankos to possess him and suddenly change his appearance, that would set Xander off immediately.

Maybe 45 to 60-ish? It's entirely possible that he just looks a lot older, seeing as the stress of running a country (not to mention being possessed) can age someone pretty quickly.

My personal theory is that Garon's body is practically dead and Anankos or whatever is keeping it alive as a vessel, but only at the bare minimum. So he's basically just slowly decomposing, which is why he looks so crusty.

Hm, that makes sense

60's is my best guess

assuming Xander is in his mid 20's I'd assume Garron had him during his mid 20's

Wouldn't that put Garon in his 40s or 50s?

 

I would estimate Daddy Garon to be mid to late 50s.  I think he actually got possessed after Elise was conceived, but before she was born, since I don't think Slime Garon could have viable sperm, and non-possessed Garon wouldn't have kidnapped Corrin.

you know, if my math professor didn't feel bad for me I would have never passed any of my college math classes (I had her for 3 classes)

Elise would be slime herself if she was conceived after the possession. Or just be miscarried...

But if Anankos could have Corrin with Mikoto, then clearly he could breed with humans, so you'd think possessing Garon, a human, he'd still be able to.

This reminds me of a book trilogy I read once where this evil dragon possessed/stole a man's body, then went around raping women, and the kids were born with dragon body parts/scales over some of their body. The main one had dragon legs, one had a tail, one had wings and she could fly. The women would all die after giving birth. It was kind of a weird story.

This is unofficial, but I thought these did a good job on making a younger version of Garon:

Woah! He was kind of a looker. No wonder he had all those willing concubines xD

It is an artist's interpretation, but since all of his kids turned out attractive, I would say that Garon probably was quite a looker in his youth as well. I really like the second picture; he really looks related to Xander and Leo there.

I wonder if he and Arete's romance was one that you would find in a manga/manhwa about Chinese Harems.

Crap, now I want to see young Arete.
