5-Character Background:
Gareth is the second son of Lord Lothar Hightower, by his wife Annara of House Redwyne. Like his elder brother Gwayne he spent his early years at the Hightower under the eye of the castle's maester and master-at arms. He learned to read and write and to do figures. Indeed his aptitude for learning saw his father originally promise him to the Citadel. Gareth attended the Citadel as a novice and according to rumor may have even earned one iron link before he managed to persuade his father that he was better suited to becoming a knight. Squired to Lord Tyrell at the age of fourteen, Gareth spent four years in Highgarden where he learned much about the handling of arms and how to lead men. Upon his Knighthood at age 18, he returned to Oldtown, and fought under his elder brother in the War of the Stepstones. As a knight has also spent time with the Maesters at the Citadel, indulging his interest in building and fortifications especially how they lend themselves to the waging of war.
6-Character Appearance:
Gareth is tall with broad shoulders and a slender yet muscular physique. He wears his dark hair at shoulder length, has piercing blue eyes and is almost always seen close shaven or maybe with a slight stubble. He is always well-dressed and often wears white gloves, hence his by-name of "White Hands"
7-Character Reputation:
Well known as the younger brother of Lord Hightower, Gareth has earned the soubriquet of "White Hands", due to his habit for wearing white gloves, even when wearing full armor. Originally a term of derision amongst Lord Tyrell's squires and even Lord Tyrell himself, Gareth has turned it into a symbol of pride.
