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.

Chronology

When Avery first made contact with the Garrick family, they were involved with dealing with a god parasite and working on brute forcing Zoomtown, likely among other projects, and dealt regularly with Alexander Belanger for augury advice on Paths and Lost items.<ref>“Unhatched egg screams randomly. We don’t know what it does yet but Alexander Belanger said it was strong, so we keep troubleshooting it. The bingo card makes noises and circles numbers when those numbers crop up randomly in real life and when you get a bingo it dumps you onto a random point on a Path you’ve been to before.” - Excerpt from One After Another 10.1</ref><ref name="9.3e1"/> Jude mentions to Avery that the Garricks were involved in evacuating Nicolette Belanger from the Forest Ribbon Trail after she stranded, and then switched places with, Avery.<ref>“Snowdrop got taken off the Path by a rival, leaving me there with… her.”

“He gives me the occasional bad dream and I spent a few minutes with him. What do you even do? Sneak around to the detour?”

“She got that too. An acquaintance came and gave me some emotional support, my friends negotiated and got my attacker to step in and replace me, and her boss kind of arranged a way out for her after that.”

“Oh… I think I remember that. I wasn’t part of it though.” - Excerpt from One After Another 10.1</ref> After Alexander's death, the Garricks' main project was solving the newly discovered Station Promenade.
