Garland

—Somnium Fluxus Garland Dragan (ガルランヅヅラガン, Garurandu Duragan) Is a young Nefas sorcerer formally retained by Diluculum Aeternus. Famed as the only daughter of the nefarious Randa Primarosa, Garland is sought after by her mother's enemies for her dormant power along with widespread fear that she may one day prove a catastrophic threat for both physical and spiritual realms.

The circumstances of Garland's birth are unclear, and thus her father remains unnamed. Abandoned by her mother at an early age, Garland was adopted into Diluculum Aeternus after much debate as to whether she should be killed or allowed to live. Although Garland spent much of her life in the relative safety of the covenant, its leaders, Ichchha-un-Idika Edha Guha Thakurta and Eriphyla, grew wary of Soul Society's impending threats along with the danger Garland's presence posed upon the covenent's membership and Garland herself. Once Garland had grown sufficiently powerful, the covenant organized an alliance with the Gotei 13, agreeing to provide them with a single member who would represent the covenant's good faith and aid the Gotei 13 as a regular officer. This was in fact a pretense that would likely succeed in protecting Garland and her allies from the wrath of her own mother.

As a representative of Diluculum Aeternus, Garland spent her time within the First Division until Jaromira Dragan was released from the Muken and subsequently selected as the Twelfth Division Captain. Following this, Garland was transferred to that division to serve as its Lieutenant, much to her initial chagrin. As Garland slowly began to come to terms with her new responsibilities, she idolized her Captain and soon took her family name as her own, fully severing her ties with Randa as Diluculum Aeternus had planned.

While Garland is poorly versed on Nefas lore and is thus unfamiliar with the Goddess they worship, her existence has attracted the interest of Velia Agostinha Vivax, who remarks that despite Diluculum Aeternus' best efforts, Garland will one day confront her mother in a battle to the death, for such is her fate.
