Garth
,→History: redpunct
Garth Fitzgerald IV is a semi-retired hunter. Prior to entering the hunting life he went to college and dental school, planning becoming a dentist. These plans were derailed when he got his first case, in which he claims he killed the [[Tooth Fairy]].<ref name="eight06">[[8.06 Southern Comfort]]</ref> The call of the hunting life greatly delayed the completion of his dental studies.<ref name="fifteen10" /> In the past, he used [[Bobby Singer]] as a resource,<ref name="six04">[[6.04 Weekend at Bobby's]]</ref> and although he generally works alone, he has teamed up with the Winchesters on three occasions,<ref name="eight06"/><ref name="seven08">[[7.08 Season Seven, Time for a Wedding!]]</ref><ref name="seven18">[[7.18 Party On, Garth]]</ref> and with Bobby on at least one.<ref name="eight06"/> He also works with [[Mr Fizzles]], who is good at encouraging children to talk about traumatic experiences.<ref name="seven18"/>
At some point after Bobby's death and Sam and Dean's disappearance, Garth takes over Bobby's old job of answering hunter calls and giving hunters advice about different [[monsters]]. Like Bobby, he has a number of different phones, but instead of landlines, Garth uses cell phones that all have different ringtones. Garth also takes to saying "[[idjit]]" and "[[balls]]," two words that Bobby used frequently when frustrated, and wearing one of Bobby's old hats. He tells Sam and Dean that Bobby left it in the back of his car after a [[rugaru]] hunt they went on together.<ref name="eight06"/> [[Chuck]] mentioned that Bobby went on a rugaru hunt a week after the events in which Sam sacrificed himself to stop the [[Apocalypse]] ,<ref>[[5.22 Swan Song]]</ref>, which implies that Garth was working with Bobby on that hunt and kept his hat as a memento. As part of his role as the "new Bobby," Garth has taken to tracking hunters via the GPS in their cell phones and then calling them with cases in the area nearby. Sam and Dean are disturbed by this, but Dean decides that it is a very Bobby thing for Garth to be doing.
After being bitten by a [[werewolf]] he had been hunting, Garth becomes a werewolf himself and retires from hunting and disappears, marrying [[Bess Myers]] and joining her pack. Following the revelation of a plot by a few members of the pack to bring about [[Ragnarök]], Garth offers to become a hunter once again, using his werewolf abilities to help, but Dean tells him to remain with his pack as he is happy there.<ref name="nine12">[[9.12 Sharp Teeth]]</ref> Garth eventually has [[Gertie Fitzgerald|a daughter]] with Bess and twin boys, named after [[Sam and Castiel Fitzgerald|Sam and Castiel]].<ref name="fourteen09" />
