Garl Vinland

Garl Vinland is a character from Dark Souls: The Age of Fire. He originally hailed from the 2009 From Software game Demon's Souls as an enemy.

In Dark Souls
Garl appears to be a part of Gwyn's legion of Silver Knight under the leadership of Silver Knight Arkon. Under the orders of Gwyn, Arkon leads a battalion of Silver Knights into the city of Lost Izalith to investigate the God's suspicion of dark magic and Demons. Knight Garl is amongst Arkon and is seen alongside the knights fighting a group of Taurus Demon. Though Garl frets that there is too many demons to battle, Arkon soon sends the horde into a retreat. Though Garl remarks that the demons are fleeing, Arkon corrects him by stating that "demons do not flee, they simply return to the shadow whence they came."

As Arkon and his knights pursue the beaked demon, Garl remarks that the demons flee from their lit torches. As they turn a corner, however, the beaked demon, standing in front of the Bed of Chaos replies to Garl with "hide from fire? Foolish metal giant. We are flame." Garl is suddenly consumed by the flame and disintegrates. With Arkon's dismay, the demon reassures him that "thy friend is still of this world, only changed".
