General Garrindel was a notable military leader of Shallam. He began his Shallamese service as a mercenary in the emperor's service, but rose quickly through the ranks of the eastern military. In the Siroccian Mountains he oversaw one of the earliest campaigns against Ashtan, and the resulting victory set the tone for the 750 years of Shallamese dominance to follow.

His rapier, "Garrindel's Left Hand," was comparable in power to one of the blackened rapiers sold by the merchant Merentesh. On Glacian 3, 539 AF, the weapon was auctioned off to Vizier Micaelis Sioraiocht for 350,000 gold sovereigns in a fundraising soiree at the Lucretian Athenaeum.
