#garrek

Yes. Except Garraxhar did it to Garrek. Even more heartbreaking: said pet, a beautiful canary-like bird, was a gift from Vinra.

Garrek loved that bird and spent lots of time with the bird, to the point he'd let it out of its cage, and the little bird would perch on his head. But a week after Vinra died, Garraxhar shot it with his hand cannon in a drunken rage. T-T

The saddest part is that, when Garrek hatched, Garraxhar was pretty okay with him even if he didn’t like his softer personality compared to the more hot-headed Grigon.

As a matter of fact, Garrek did suggest the idea, but Garraxhar instantly rejected it. Hylurg would freeze before he’d resort to making ‘friends’ worth filthy half-breeds. (Plus, the idea came from the unfavorite son, so of course he wouldn’t take it seriously)

Millennia later, Grigon remembered his brother’s idea, and after some thought realized it wasn’t such a bad idea. The Ag’nakarr have a deep-rooted resentment toward the Sobrekt government for basically banishing them from their home world just for being half-breeds, so they’d jump at the chance.

…He faked his brother's signature, thus the fleet thought Grigon himself gave the order; they wouldn't have listened to Garrek, but Grigon, a fleetmaster with a flawless reputation, is another story. Perhaps, in a way, Garrek was hoping that in the 'unlikely' case things went south, the blame would go to his 'perfect' brother for once. No wonder even Grigon was pissed at him!

Unfortunately, he underestimated how well their father knew his favorite son. Garraxhar could tell with one look that the signature and the redacting style were not Grigon's; plus, Grigon isn't stupid enough to attack the Sobrekt homeworld with one fleet only.
