Garrett was then recruited into a secret organization known as the Keepers, dedicated to observing and maintaining stability in the City. However, he was caught, and Artemus, impressed with his ability to see a Keeper, offered Garrett a new life. Thinking the man had some valuables, he decided to make a grab. One night, he saw Artemus walking on the street as people, 'just passed him by like he wasn't there'. Orphaned, Garrett spent his youth on the streets surviving as a pickpocket and message runner. It is implied Garrett also never steals from his allies or the poor. Other than that, Garrett has not killed any humans in the Thief canon. Lotus was a mercy killing, as he begged for death due to the inhumane conditions that Garrett found him in. Garrett also exhibits a strong sense of professional pride as a thief: he usually refuses to kill while on the job, saying that he's a thief, not a murderer, though Constantine and Karras died as a result of Garret's actions only because he was able to sabotage their evil plans. In extreme cases this seems to extend to even to past antagonists such as Viktoria, although that may be a result of Garrett's own self-interest. While on the surface Garrett is callous, cynical and sarcastic, with loyalty only to himself, he does seem to have deeper feelings for a few of his contacts: Artemus, the Keeper that recruited and trained him Basso the Boxman, a fellow thief Cutty, his fence. Garrett exhibits a strong sense of survival and self-interest.
