===Early life===
A member of Kindraa Sainze, Garret was a [[Star Captain]] and a ''[[ristar]]'' during Clan Fire Mandrill's attempts to secure an invasion corridor for [[Operation REVIVAL]]. During this period his impressive combat record was countered by the large number of [[Trial of Grievance|Trials of Grievance]] and [[Trial of Refusal|Refusal]] declared against him, often caused by his own rash decisions and impulsive behavior.<ref name=FMCCp45>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 45</ref><ref name=TWORp191 /> Though Sainze grew somewhat more thoughtful with age and rank, he never truly overcame his impulsive nature.<ref name=FMCCp45 />

Despite this, Sainze rose to become head of his [[Kindraa]] in [[3053]], and [[saKhan of Clan Fire Mandrill|saKhan]] of his Clan two years later.<ref name=TWORp191 /> During his time as saKhan he generally voted in line with the [[Home Clans|Homeworld]] [[Crusader Clans|Crusader]] agenda, but would abstain or vote otherwise as requested by his Khan, [[Amanda Carrol]].<ref name=FMCCp45 />

Sainze also suffered from severe headaches that would lead to minor blackouts, usually the result of dealing with the Mandrill's fractious Clan Council. Multiple challenges were declared against Sainze because of this, but they ended after he slew Star Captain [[Martha Payne]] with a spectacular one-shot kill.<ref name=TWORp191 />

When Amanda Carrol resigned in [[3066]] after suffering a vote of no confidence as Khan, Sainze appeared certain to replace her but was repeatedly frustrated by the efforts of other Kindraa to prevent this. Only after a convoluted series of Trials and mergers between Kindraa, and the support of [[Clan Blood Spirit]], would Sainze finally secure the Khanship, though divested of any real power.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', pp. 42–43</ref>

In December [[3067]], when the [[Grand Council]] assembled to discuss the news of the [[Second Star League]]'s collapse, Blood Spirit saKhan [[Troy Boques]] nominated Sainze as a potential candidate for the post of [[ilKhan]]. Being amongst the many Khans surprised by this, Sainze himself completely failed to impress the Council. With three Khans being nominated for the ilKhanship, none received enough votes for the post.<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 31</ref> Other Khans had named him simply to polarize the Grand Council and discern political leanings, but Sainze viewed the matter differently. In his mind, the nomination was proof not only of his effective leadership of the Mandrills but also that, if he could manage so fractious an assembly as the Fire Mandrill Kindraa, then he had the capacity to lead the Clans as a whole. As a result, Sainze spent the rest of his life pursuing this goal.<ref name=TWORp191 />

As fighting in the Clan Homeworlds increased during [[3069]], and inter-Kindraa strife threatened the Clan's very survival, Sainze and Loremaster [[Cassandra Faraday]] called for a Clan Council on [[Shadow]]. Intending to promote Clan unity, the Council superficially achieved its goal. But beneath this façade, the fractures within Clan Fire Mandrill continued to grow.<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 37</ref>
