Modus operandi
They are well-known Finders, tend to have a family uniform including aviator hats, goggles, and headphones that makes them identifiable to both Others<ref name=":0">“Wonderkand?”
“Yes.”
“Do you know them?”
“No, I don’t think I’ve ever crossed paths with them. A good thing, it seems. But it was mentioned that they have a uniform. The Garricks do as well.”
“Ear flap hat?”
“Yes. I recognized the look by what Jude was wearing. There might be a power in that, in being recognizable as a presence greater than one person, when traversing the Paths, or being able to ask if a Lost has seen someone with an outfit resembling yours. A cost, too. I should let you know, before any incident arises, I do believe I’ve crossed paths with a Garrick. Between when you were rescued from the Forest Ribbon Trail and when I returned nearly a month ago.” - Excerpt from Summer Break 13.9</ref> and practitioners.<ref>“A Garrick,” the old man said. “Large family, smaller impact. We’ve seen them around.”
“Yes. I knew your grandfather,” the boy said.
“Yes,” Jude replied. “I think I’ve heard of you, sir. Nice to meet you.” - Excerpt from Gone and Done It 17.10</ref> This may have costs and benefits as the actions of one affects the reputation of all.<ref name=":0"/>
In addition to the Paths, they also work in the Abyss<ref>Avery wanted to walk the Paths, and Zed knew a city mage named Edward, who knew finders who walked the Paths, as well as delving into the Abyss.

“Working all summer. I’m going to spend more time on the Paths and in the Abyss than I do in reality.” - Excerpt from Leaving a Mark 4.1</ref> and may consult on projects outside either realm.<ref name="4.1e1" />
Work with Edward, a proficient City Mage, who connects them to groups and individuals in other fields like the Belanger Circle.
The family equips each individual Finder well, with both mundane items like their trademark aviator gear, climbing equipment, and oxygen tanks,<ref name="4.1e1" /> and an assortment of magical items, mostly Lost items. They extensively employ Escape Ropes.

It was a guy, fifteen or so, with a wispy mustache, goggles, and a bunch of gear. He had a tank at his hip, a bag, some rope, some climbing stuff, and what looked like headphones.
