Garuda acts as a rival Advancer locked in direct competition with protagonist Tina Owens, both racing to reach the dangerous planetary system Omega 13 first. His motivations seem driven by personal ambition rather than official orders, though his specific objectives remain unstated.

He possesses established connections within the lawless corridors of Space Station M-75, a notorious hub for black market dealings. This affiliation strongly suggests prior involvement with criminal networks or underworld operations. His deep familiarity with the station is demonstrated when he recognizes individuals engaged in illicit acts, including spotting an acquaintance among assailants attacking fake nuns.

Garuda engages Tina directly during their competing missions to Omega 13. The ultimate outcome of their conflict remains unresolved. His documented appearances, character development, and background details are strictly limited to this antagonistic role within the original 1996 OVA.
