Andreanof Garland, alias Alexander Gallen in select adaptations, dominates as a Russian Greco-Roman wrestler boasting an undefeated streak of over 6,000 victories. He storms into the Maximum Tournament as a reserve fighter, replacing the injured Chiharu Shiba. Garland towers at 203 cm with a muscular frame, steely gray hair, and piercing blue eyes. His persona radiates unshakable confidence, fierce patriotism, and a brutish edge, frequently dismissing opponents he deems unworthy. Driven by fervent loyalty to Russia, Garland violently clashes with compatriot Sergei Taktarov over a perceived national disgrace following Sergei’s defeat. In combat, he showcases superhuman feats—uprooting trees, wielding a 100 kg axe, and wearing titanium shackles to curb his raw power. His arsenal includes suplexes, hip throws, tackles, and the devastating "Gallen Special." Garland’s resilience defies logic: he survives Kaoru Hanayama’s full-force punch and endures Jack Hanma’s heart stab by blocking the blade with his own rib. Advancing to the tournament’s second round after overpowering a giant anaconda in preliminaries, Garland faces Jack Hanma. Despite displaying unexpected agility with gymnastic maneuvers like a moonsault, he falls to Jack’s relentless assault. Post-tournament, he briefly reveals honor, shielding Kosho Shinogi from Yuujiro Hanma’s wrath. Garland’s trajectory shifts when ambushed by death row convict Sikorsky, leaving him wheelchair-bound and haunted by PTSD—a stark transition from indomitable warrior to fractured survivor. His identity remains rooted in patriotism, viewing himself as Russia’s instrument of glory rather than a conventional antagonist. Years later, he resurges to confront an MMA fighter in old age, echoing the exploits of his real-life inspiration, Aleksandr Karelin. Garland’s arc spans sagas of physical decline and psychological scars, yet he clings to his legacy as a lifelong patriot, embodying nationalistic fervor until the end.
