Biography
Nodell Towers incident
In 2009, Lynns was burnt severely after the fire chief ordered his unit to flee the burning Nodell Towers, where he insisted on staying and saving it. He survived the collapse, was pulled out of the rubble and spent a month in a burn ward as a John Doe. When he woke up, he felt betrayed that his former teammates left him behind, which led to him becoming a vengeful recluse, eventually causing his wife and kids to leave him.[1]
Targeting his old squad
He began to target members of his old squad. While Danny de la Vega was in a burning building, Garfield sprayed gasoline over him and burned him alive. During the next fire he knocked another member of the team into the flames. The hooded vigilante showed up and the two started to fight. Garfield quickly defeated The Hood, as he managed to trip him to the floor and incapacitated him with a kick after which he escaped. He later confronted the entire team at the night club and set the place on fire. The Hood stopped him and offered to help him instead of killing him. Garfield thanked him but then committed suicide by setting himself on fire.[1]
