Garrett grew up in a small town in Oaklahoma with two very Catholic parents. They would make him go to church every Sunday and he hated every second of it. Like any other teenager, he started to drink, stay out past curfew and sneak out of the house. When he tried marijuana for the first time, he immediately loved the feeling of being high and wouldn’t let an opportunity pass him to get a little high from weed or any other substance. His parent would threaten to send him to the military, to rehab or boarding school. He always thought they were empty threads until one day he came home to his bags packed and a stranger awaiting his arrival. While at a gas station halfway to a rehab facility, he ran away and got on a bus for New York City and didn’t turn back. He learned to live on his own, get the drugs he needed, all while living on the streets. During this time, he’d met Joshua Krongold someone who mirrored his personality. Hot headed, stubborn and a complete piece of shit. After hanging out with Josh enough, he’d chose to be a prospect for the Royals of Purgatory where he thought he’d be loyal to for the rest of his life.
After twenty years of being with the Royals his income surely increased, though so did his drug addiction. Just like when he was a teenager, he was able to keep it mostly under control, though his love for the high, came along with the vision of adding another market to the gangs' income. Garret believed that if the Royals invested as much time and effort into selling drugs like they do guns. Their income would most likely triple. He’d been suggesting drugs as another source of income for years. After a while he got tired of asking, he knew some of the Royals members we’re also interested in a drug income so he secretly started to do so on his own. He was successful for almost a straight year, although one risky move ended it all at once.
One night he’d planned a drug swap with a gang who was also purchasing guns from the Royals. Half of the members who were chosen to make the trade was aware of the under the table sale that would happen. Tubbs himself was the getaway driver and he was a little nervous that his under the table drug business would be found out during this trade. When he heard the police sirens, he waited for what felt like eternity before driving off and leaving the brothers behind. That same night he was packing a bag since he knew it was all over for him. Though his friend and President to the club found him first and did what any president would do. Beat the living shit out of him, and replace his club tattoo with third degree burns he’ll have for the rest of his life. It was safe to say, he’d been banned from the Royals of Purgatory and ordered to leave New York, which is exactly what he’d intended to do.
Garret spend six months in New York state prison, before being transferred to Texas where he continued his 5 year sentence. During these six years, he’d become loyal and valuable to the Quantum of Devils members who were incarcerated. When he got out, he was welcomed and patched into the Quantum of Devils, within three years of that, he’d become president. Since then, he’s never felt more powerful, and unstoppable. He has people who follow every order, without hesitation due to the pure fear he’s instilled in all Devils members if they don’t comply. His reputation of killing, kidnapping, murdering the innocent, threatened family memebrs, all checked out.
When Garret first carried out his plan of taking over the Texas club, he’d imagined the president would pass him the club since he had become the vice president. Though his plan didn’t end as smoothly as he predicted. He knew he needed to make changes when the president of the club had mentioned his age, and his intent to leave the club for his daughters to run. Garret needed to take things into his own hands. When they made the move to New York with a second charter, Tubbs and some of his trusted members led the president of the Texas gang out into the city, into Royals territory and shot him in the head without any hesitation. They told the rest of the gang that, they spotted Royals members drive away after they heard the gunshot.
■ WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON? ■
Garret doesn’t believe in creating a family dynamic when it comes to running a business or a club. He knows first hand that there isn’t anyone you can trust other than yourself. This lesson hit home on the night he’d intended on leaving New York, the cops suddenly showed up and arrested him for gun trafficking. Garret didn’t think Joshua Krongold would ever snitch to the cops, he thought the 3rd degree burn would have been enough. Little did he know, it was his own family, the mother of his children who made the call.
■ KEEP THIS AWAY FROM YOUR ENEMIES ■
Since landing in New York he’s been working very hard at building a clientele base while preparing a new club as a front for his drug dealings. He knows that he’s going to step on some toes but he didn’t care, in fact, he wanted to make his presence known amongst his enemies. Which was exactly why he planted drugs in the Royals pub and put in an anonymous tip to the police. Within the hour, the bar was raided and was shut down for business. Tubbs was happy to be standing nearby when the arrest of two members was made, and it brought him so much joy to think of the shit storm he’d just started. Most people would think he was careless hurting the club, his ex-love Jenna and his son Malcolm were apart of. Though despite his hard exterior, he carries a love for his family that no one could ever break.
■ Joshua Krongold: Josh used to be one of his best friends, although as Carson Woods came into the picture he felt had been replaced, and he hated both of them for that.
■ Jenna Alcott: Before leaving the Royals Jenna and he had a very steamy relationship. Their ups and down had lead them to have two children, whom they continuously fought over. The pair weren’t right for each other in any way, though they couldn’t stay away from each other either. He was incredibly protective of her, and would often fight anyone who went near her. Though his throat would often go hoarse when they caught themselves sin another screaming match.
■ Mia Miller: When he returned to New York, one of the first things he wanted to do was reach out to his daughter. His one child who has actually responded to the few emails. Throughout her upbringing, he had always believed in Mia’s dreams. More so than her mother, he would say.
