“Our next hero was many things in those troubled times. So often a tireless defender of the peace, he was instrumental in the investigation and defeat of the many individuals who would abuse the little understood 'Occult' schools of magic or threaten the gradually strengthening bonds between the magical and non-magical communities. Indeed, without Garth Hendrick, the damage caused by these rogue Wytches would almost certainly have been far greater.
He was simultaneously a loving brother, caring for his sister Melissa as she struggled with her conflicting personalities, and seeing her through to stable and highly successful future life.
Following the Seven Covens, Garth joined HMMR's newly formed Integrated Magical Agent Taskforce, where his in-depth knowledge of the deepest aspects of Illusion magic were put to good use in training new recruits in how to combat those who could not be seen. His pioneering introduction of team-based 'hide-and-seek-style' illusion-finding combat training exercises is widely credited with the formation of novel strategies and tactics for catching rogue Masters of Illusion, including the now-famous 'Hendrick Manoeuvre' (the details of which remain highly classified to this day). At the same time, under his tutelage those recruits who had a knack for the illusory arts were able to learn how best to put their skills to use in the field.
He never stopped in his quest to rid the world of those who would abuse the Occult, helping in particular to deal with the various rogue Sanguimancers who seemed hell-bent on manipulating the minds of those unable to resist their powers. Ever aware of the dangers of condemning a power purely on the basis of its users, however, he also did much research of his own into the powers of blood magic, eventually able to advance to a stage where he could not only fully heal Henwyn Lincoln's (see page 293) blood-crystal curse, but also produce Embercryst charms to ward off Sanguimantic thought manipulation.
In later years, Garth travelled the world with his sister and other associates from the days of the Covens, and while the rambling Wytches were not greeted with joy in every country they visited, their documenting of sites of magical interest outside the hotbed of the UK was of great importance to the generations of magical researchers who followed.”
