To make any claim that Garagos is a servant of Tempus would be to invite a bitch-fit the likes of which you have never seen. Originally thought slain in the early battles over who would become "Lord of Battles", Garagos was actually dormant and has only reappeared recently when a [[Demon]] entered the realms and started using Garagos name to start an evil cult of war and fury, prompting the real Garagos to manifest and rip it a new one.

He represents war in its pure form of rage and violence, though in earlier times, he was considered to be more even-tempered. Since his return, he is said to have lost all sense of mercy. It is believed these changes to his mentality forced him to move his divine realm from chaotic [[Limbo]] to the more dour/insane [[Pandemonium]], either that or he was secretly in love with someone ''(it is not mentioned who, although his clergy is forbidden from acting against the church of [[Shar]]),'' and the move to Pandemonium represented him giving up all hope. Other punters say this is retarded and that Garagos had just started his decline into pure evil, with his realm moving with him.

It is thought that Tempus keeps him around for some reason, possibly because he ''didn't want'' the aspects of Garagos' portfolio to merge with his own. Other thinkers believe that Tempus is allowing him to continue with existence because he knows that someone else might challenge him for the position of "Lord of Battles" such as interloper gods of war from other realms ''([[Anhur]] from the Mulhorandi pantheon comes to mind)''. Therefore Tempus may be keeping him around to use a stalking horse to flush out any potential rivals. 

In any case, Garagos doesn't care what Tempus' intentions are and seeks to unseat his old enemy himself, though he simply doesn't have the power ''(or the brains)'' to do so.

Avatars of Garagos appear as multi-armed giants wielding a different weapon in each hand. The number of arms varies but is never less than five, and he can grow new ones at will. Alternate forms include a floating mist of blood that acts as a poison to anyone other than the faithful of Garagos. For unknown reasons, at certain times of year when the stars align in a particular way, his avatar and those of [[Sharess]] and [[Jergal]] are summoned to Godswalk Keep in the Border Kingdoms of the realms as part of the '''"Meeting of the Three"'''. Lucky adventurers who witness this event gain the power of ''Trueseeing'' for one day per level, though to actually witness this event you need to be within line-of-sight to the raging multi-armed avatar of the [[Rip and Tear|god of indiscriminate destruction]] and actually survive the experience.
