'''Garth Anderson''' was a successful Mechwarrior until his retiring in [[3083]]. He is Rasalhagian by birth and beliefs and was inmmediately named Stable Master of the newly formed '''Ice Giants''' upon his retirement. While he doesn't hate Clanners like most of the stables does, he has done nothing to stop that hatred. He is know to sometimes climb back to a 'Mech to fight mock duels with his employees. Well spoken and handsome, he is a frequent guest at parties which he uses to quietly work against the Dominion. He is still considered a Veteran MechWarrior.<ref name="ICEGIANTSSTABLESp4a">''Ice Giants Stables'', p. 4 'Garth Anderson'</ref>
