Yes, Garas was general of Sirion starting just after Perdan/Westmoor and allies invaded Sirion untill some months after peace was signed with Perdan. When Oligarch was transfered back feom Eponllyn to Sirion Garas became the new Duke/Margrave and in turn stepped down as General.
He was a very different person however back then than what he ultimately became. So if there's anything do let me know
