===Early life===
Very little of Garble's upbringing and personal life is known. seemed to be a well-liked or feared individual in his group, seeming to know a fair bit about his fellow dragons, such as the names and possibly families of dragons who weren't in his immediate gang. It's unknown if Garble has any permanent residence and he has no known family members. He resembles [[Razer]], who nestled himself into a mountain near by Ponyville during "[[Dragonshy]]" and is one of the few dragons with a similar color scheme, however this may simply be a biological attribute of his sub-species.
In childhood, Garble was known as “Gar-Gar” by his sister Smolder, though the name embarrassed him as he grew older. Smolder was also the only dragon Garble felt comfortable sharing his secret passion for beat poetry with. This closeness did not prevent Smolder from kicking him out on his own when he began undergoing [[Molt]].
===Gang===
Line 103 ⟶ 105:
===First encounter with Spike===
Garble first encountered spike in the [[Era of Harmony]] when the little dragon went on migration to be with other dragons. At first he was skeptical of Spike, though grew to somewhat respect him after seeing his sheer moxie and gusto in performing feats, such as diving into pools of lava. However, his views on Spike changed for the worst when he invited the little guy for a dragon raid, in which they were to smash the eggs of baby [[Phoenix]]es, presumably killing them in the process. Spike of course refused and so Garble and the others ganged up on him until Spike's friends, {{FIM|Rainbow Dash}}, {{FIM|Rarity}} and {{FIM|Twilight Sparkle}} came to rescue him. The dragons of course didn't back down and so Spike and the others fled.<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Dragon Quest}}</ref>

Spike subsequently had a nightmare where Garble, Backdraft and Charcoal were bullying him, though
===Gauntlet of Fire===
Garble participated in the [[Goblet of Fire (event)|Goblet of Fire]] event in hopes of becoming the next [[Dragon Lord]]. Garble told his peers that if he were to be victorious and become the next Lord, he would organize a countrywide raid on Equestria, burning everything they didn't take. When he encountered Spike, he was once again incredibly hostile and rude to him, bluntly telling him that he didn't like him at all.
During the actual event, Garble did quite well for himself, becoming the second dragon to enter the [[Flamecano]] in order to receive the [[Bloodstone Scepter]] (the winning condition for the ordeal) next to the combined party of Spike and {{FIM|Ember}}, who was participating in secret. Garble wrestled with Ember throughout the volcano until Spike grabbed the Scepter, becoming the Dragon Lord. Spike's first, and only creed, was for Garble to go back home, hugging every dragon he saw. He was also forbidden to explain why to any of the reciprocates of this embarrassing and uncharacteristic behavior, who included [[Dragon Lord Torch]].<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Gauntlet of Fire}}</ref>
===From simulations to revelations===
When considering where she might send her student [[Starlight Glimmer]] to continue her education, Twilight briefly considered the Dragon Lands. In a magical simulation she created for the possibility, Garble appeared, though he was uncharacteristically friendly. Perhaps due to her unpleasant past encounters with him, however, Twilight was quick to imagine him pulling Starlight along while diving into a lava pool, oblivious to pony vulnerability.<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Celestial Advice}}</ref> Later, the real Garble proved to be the unwitting new owner of [[Netitus]], which he used as a board for [[Gorge Surfing]]. Rainbow Dash and Spike challenged him to a race over ownership of the {{FIM|Pegasus}} relic, and Spike won.
Furious, Garble prepared to attack Spike, considering the younger dragon exempt from Ember’s recent decree prohibiting dragon antagonism of ponies. However, Rainbow Dash convinced him to race her instead, only to fly off with Spike and Netitus after persuading Garble to lay it down, much to his chagrin.<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Shadow Play}}</ref> Smolder later mentioned her brother’s Molt experience to Spike without bringing up Garble’s name.<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Molt Down}}</ref> Later, Garble and his gang began antagonizing Spike again when he paid another visit to the Dragon Lands. The old adversaries were unpleasantly surprised when Smolder introduced Garble as her brother and Spike as her friend.
Garble’s supposed friends reported his recent moodiness to Smolder, only to mock him upon learning that Smolder had brought Spike to hang out with him. Garble proved as unfriendly to Spike as ever, subjecting him to pain and humiliation and reacting with anger when Spike used his nickname. However, when {{FIM|Fluttershy}} disclosed that Garble had been feeling bad without Smolder, Garble got a taste of his own medicine as the other dragons teased him. Later, Fluttershy came across him performing poetry for Smolder, who revealed that she was the only creature he would perform in front of, leaving him feeling repressed with her attending the [[School of Friendship]].
Though angry and embarrassed at the situation, at being found out, and at the belief that the other dragons would mock his hobby, Garble soon found a use for his gifts. With the next generation of [[Dragon Egg]]s in desperate need of warmth, Garble began reciting his poetry to the dragons attempting to hatch them with [[Fire Breath]]. The other dragons were so amused that they produced laughter Fire hot enough to hatch the eggs. However, any mockery was swiftly halted by Ember, who proclaimed Garble a hero and decreed that the dragons would celebrate each other’s unique traits from them on. To Garble’s pleasant surprise, she then became the first dragon to ask him for writing tips.<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Sweet and Smoky}}</ref>
{{FIM|Princess Luna}} and Celestia later spotted Garble while traveling through Equestria.<ref>{{CAR|FIM|Between Dark and Dawn}}</ref> He later joined many teenage dragons and other creatures in fighting against the [[Legion of Doom]] during the [[Apocalypse]]. Garble and his friends joined other airborne creatures in charging the villains, disrupting [[Cozy Glow]] in particular.<ref>{{CAR|FIM|The Ending of the End}}</ref> Years later, Garble would be remembered among the [[Council of Friendship]]’s most significant acquaintances.<ref>{{CAR|FIM|The Last Problem}}</ref>
==Personality==
Initially appearing to be little more then a lowlife punk, Garble presented himself as a rough, tough, but seemingly goodhearted big-brother type to Spike. He showed absolutely no respect towards [[Princess Celestia]] and [[Equestria]] as a whole but seemed to eventually warm up to Spike, calling him "dude" in an affectionate manner. However, Garble's true colors were shown, revealing him to be a truly deranged and heinous individual, one who has no qualms with killing those weaker than him for getting in his way, or even just for fun. This however, was eventually revealed to only be the tip of the iceberg as Garble's views on ponies went far beyond simple annoyance or flat-out prejudice, but ventured into vehement hatred.
When he went to participate in the [[Gauntlet of Fire (event)|Gauntlet of Fire]], his goal if he won was to organize an all-out assault on Equestria, taking what he gets and burning all the rest. Garble's violence isn't reserved just for ponies however, he appears to have absolutely no regard for any form of life. He relished in the opportunity to kill baby [[Phoenix]]es, making a game out of it and attempted to beat up
==Abilities==
Being a dragon, Garble is naturally quite strong and is a force to be reckoned with. Despite only being a teenage dragon, Garble appears to be more powerful than ponies who are considerably stronger than average, going as far as to strike immense fear into even Rainbow Dash. In fact, Garble is one of the few fights Dash willingly backed down from. Garble was strong enough to fight Ember on roughly equal footing, though was eventually defeated. Like other dragons of his age, Garble can fly, breath fire and has an innate resistance towards heat, being able to relax in lava as if it was a hot-spring. Garble is fairly cunning and is shown to be at least decently intelligent, smart enough to formulate strategies and read [[Equestrian language|pony writing]].
