Garry 7 is a short, small and stumpy copper construct with a rounded, approachable face, bright brass-colored eyes and a compact body built for hauling supplies rather than intimidation. His copper plating is polished in some places and heavily scratched in others, with visible rivets, small tool compartments and a maker's mark bearing Balgruuf's initials. A leather apron hangs over his scale mail, covered in neatly labeled pouches, chalk marks and tiny bits of salvaged metal. His movements are accompanied by soft clinks, clicks and occasional squeaks from his joints.

Garry 7 is cheerful, enthusiastic and eager to be useful. He assumes that people are fundamentally good and that every problem can be improved with careful labeling, cleaning or repair. He is socially naive, takes instructions literally and is delighted by praise. He loves animals and dreams of taming one, though the clanking of his copper joints has so far frightened away every creature he has approached.

Garry 7 was the seventh of eighteen copper golems created by Balgruuf, a brilliant but profoundly disorganised dwarven blacksmith. Balgruuf considered every Garry one of his children, and the eighteen copper siblings considered one another family. Garry 7 was designed with a cute, friendly face to help reassure customers, but his true specialty was organisation. He labeled chests, sorted barrels, arranged cupboards, cleaned the forge and kept careful track of every nail, ingot, hinge and scrap of metal in the shop. He loved the work. Whenever Balgruuf praised him for being useful, Garry 7 felt a warm glow in the alchemical core beneath his copper chest. Balgruuf's methods were chaotic, but his mind was extraordinary. Garry 7 learned to imitate his father's clever little devices, repair damaged tools and combine ordinary materials into useful mechanisms. In time, he became an eager apprentice artificer, though he still describes every invention as a way to make the storeroom more efficient. Then Balgruuf left for a nearby village to meet an ore trader. The trip should have lasted only a few days, but two months passed without his return. The copper siblings continued working tirelessly, afraid that Balgruuf might return and find the shop unattended. At last, Garry 7 suggested that someone should search for him. His siblings immediately nominated Garry 7, not because he was the bravest, but because none of them wanted to risk abandoning the shop themselves. Garry 7 accepted proudly, packed his tools, labeled his travel supplies and set out to find his father, certain that every stranger he meets will know exactly who Balgruuf is and why he must be found.
