In-game biography
''"Garrick explains that he was part of a celebrated acting troupe called the Dale Wind Troubadours. They traveled the length of the coast from Neverwinter to Amn and often played to Dukes and other nobility. Indeed, few others could afford the cost of a performance when the group was at its peak. Garrick does not speak fondly of this time however, as the direction the group was taking left him dissatisfied with their conduct. He apparently discovered that performances were being used as distractions for theivery and declared he would have nothing to do with it. Rebuffed by his comrades, now he wishes simply to travel and play his music for those that will listen. He seems a bit young and naive, and a touch too ready to take the word of a stranger." ''

Baldur's Gate II
He will return in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, but not as a companion, he is just an civilian. He can be found in Athkatla Temple District trying woo a female temple knight of the Radiant Heart with the help of gnome friend without any success, because he nervous, what results in forgetting the words of the lines he is supposed to say or saying unappropiate words. When Gorion's Ward talks with him, he vaguely remembers them, but he doesn't know how he met the party or any names of party members. After some has passed when revisiting the same location, the gnome has married with the female temple knight and Garrick, who was playing at the wedding feast, met a woman from Calisham, who he accompanied to Calisham. He won't be encountered again after this.
