History
Sonic Rush Adventure
In Sonic Rush Adventure, Gardon accompanied Blaze on her mission to retrieve the Jeweled Scepter from Captain Whisker and his pirates.
After Blaze returned from Coral Cave, Gardon arrived on Southern Island where he took up residence in the Ocean Tornado's docks. Along with the other guards, Gardon was ordered to seek out the Sol Emeralds. There, Gardon immediately recognized Sonic the Hedgehog when the hedgehog introduced himself to him, as Blaze had informed him of her adventure and encounter with Sonic in his dimension. From there on, whenever, Gardon and the guards located a Sol Emerald, they would report it to Sonic, who in turn would pass that knowledge onto Blaze.
When the Jeweled Scepter when missing shortly after Blaze and her friends had reclaimed it, Gardon quickly reported the theft to Blaze.
Personality
Gardon is very devoted to his duty and Blaze, and expresses a great deal of concern for the princess's well-being as he asks Sonic to take good care of her. He also holds great respect for Blaze, addressing her as "Your Highness" (which often annoys her) and "Princess Blaze" when in her presence.
Powers and abilities
Wielding a sword, it stands to reason that Gardon has some skills in swordsmanship.
Weapons
Gardon wields a short sword with a rectangular yellow guard and sword pommel, and a black grip.
