Garrow Cadocsson was a male human. He was Roran's father, Eragon's uncle, Selena's brother, and the late Marian's husband.

[edit] Role in Eragon

After Eragon found Saphira's egg in the Spine, however, strangers came to Carvahall in search of him. At about the same time, Roran left for a job at Therinsford's mill. When the strangers started questioning about Eragon's whereabouts, Eragon was forced to flee with Brom or risk being captured and killed. By fleeing, he also, in a way, diverted the attention away from the town (at least for the time being, for the peace did not last). After finding nothing at Garrow's farm, the strangers completely demolished it and slaughtered Garrow in the process. It wasn't until Eldest that it is explained that during Eragon's travels Roran had recieved the news of Garrow and had been back in Carvahall planning his new life.

[edit] History

About sixteen years before the events in Eragon, Selena arrived at Carvahall alone and pregnant. She pleaded desperately for Garrow to take care of her upcoming baby and, after giving birth to Eragon, she departed and was never to be seen again. From then on, Garrow took care of Eragon, even after Marian's death. Roran and Eragon got along perfectly, and were as close as brothers, if not closer.

[edit] First appearance

He is supposedly Eragon's uncle because he raised him and Roran.
