A terrible creature who was once a knight from another world. He was the finest knight in all the kingdom of Cornelia, but when Princess Sarah rebuffed his love, he kidnapped her and barricaded himself in the Chaos Shrine. Four Warriors of Light, under command from the king, struck down Garland in his depravity and it seemed that his evil desires would be thwarted—but it was not to be. Escaping from death, Garland was drawn back through time to be reborn, two millennia in the past, as the immortal god known as Chaos.

Background Story

3★	A terrible creature who was once a knight from another world. He was the finest knight in all the kingdom of Cornelia, but when Princess Sarah rebuffed his love, he kidnapped her and barricaded himself in the Chaos Shrine. Four Warriors of Light, under command from the king, struck down Garland in his depravity and it seemed that his evil desires would be thwarted—but it was not to be. Escaping from death, Garland was drawn back through time to be reborn, two millennia in the past, as the immortal god known as Chaos.
4★	A terrible creature who was once a knight from another world. He kidnapped the princess of his kingdom, Princess Sarah, and barricaded himself and the princess in the Chaos Shrine, until he was eventually struck down by the Warriors of Light. But instead of meeting death's final embrace, Garland was pulled back in time to be reborn, two thousand years in the past, as the being known as Chaos. To maintain his immortal existence, he sends the four fiends—one for each of the elements: wind, water, earth, and fire—into the future, to appear every two centuries to drain power from the Crystals and bring eternity within his grasp.
5★	A terrible creature who was once a knight from another world. He was struck down by the Warriors of Light, but escaped death by traveling two thousand years into the past to be reborn as the dark god Chaos. From there he sends his four fiends into the future to steal power from the Crystals, fuelling his endless cycle of reincarnation. With each repetition of the cycle, the resentment he feels over the princess's rejection of his love grows within him.
6★	A terrible creature who was once a knight from another world. After Garland suffers defeat at the hands of the Warriors of Light in the Chaos Shrine, he uses the power of the four fiends to escape to the past. Now 2,000 years behind in time, he uses his power to recreate the four fiends anew whilst accumulating enough energy to send his future self to the past once again. He hoped this would create and endless cycle in which he would live for eternity.

Fusion

3★	I seek a strength that will silence all! This paltry power cannot sate me!
4★	Yes... I feel it filling me now! A power to equal that of the Crystals themselves!
5★	You would make an offering to me? Then I accept. Behold the true power of Chaos!
6★	No one can escape their fate! No matter how much you struggle, you're destined to meet the same end.

Awakening

3★	<blank>
4★	Chaos... That shall be my new name as I lead the world to its destruction.
5★	Ahahahaha! Yes, give me more power! MORE!
6★	Time is always moving... I will continue on living!

Summon

3★	Ahahaha! Do you remember me? Of course you do! I am Garland!
4★	I am the one who lives forever. The dark presence, Chaos. You would seek my power?
5★	You seek to wield the power of chaos? Intriguing! But do you have the strength to see this through?
6★	Leave none who dare stand before us standing!

Trust Mastery

I live in an endless cycle of rebirth. It would get rather dull without anyone else to amuse myself with!

Notes

Gameplay

• Garland has a variation: Immortal Knight Garland.

Trivia

• Main antagonist of the original Final Fantasy.
• Garland is well known for this line: "I, Garland, will knock you all down!!". An odd result of translating his threat from the Japanese version, the line was beloved by fans enough to be retained in later versions of Final Fantasy.
• His 3-star Summon quote is taken from the original game when the player confronts him again in the Past Chaos Shrine, where he says "Do you remember me? I was once a knight of Cornelia. I am Garland."
