"I put the human against his emotions and personal problems. I saw the human suffer. I saw the human lose relatives and friends, suffzr bad luck, be constantly injured. Then I reverted everything. I saw that same human have a wonderful life. Be loved. Love others. Make peace everywhere. That's when I realized the meaning of life. I'm no complete psychopath, I'm only half a psychopath. I have policies too. I can spare as well. I can have mercy. I can love. I can respect. I'm not pure evil. I'm not a complete monster. I'm not a sociopath. I'm not the worst of evils. Those bad parts are part of my duty. The good parts are parts of showing people they were wrong about me, that they were so blind, they never discovered the real me. The true me."

- Garee'y-tasma

Summary
Garee'y-tasma, more commonly known as He Who Hides Within The Fog, The One Cloaked With The Haze or The Entity Obscured By The Mist or simply as Garee or Tasma, is the main antagonist of the survival horror game, Mist. Garee'y-tasma is a planar entity from another reality on a higher plane of existence that came to our lower dimension to fuse it with his private realm and rule over both. In order to accomplish its goal, Garee'y-tasma needs to absob the essence of 20 humans of the greatest caliber, i. e. those with an incredibly strong willpower and those that house sufficient albeit unexplored power within their life-force without knowledge of these abilities.

Garee arrived on Earth in the year 1992 and quickly found and slew 16 of those humans with little to no effort, spred over the course of just 25 years by trapping them within a newly created  dimension of his, a planet-sized world parallel to our universe, almost completely the same as Earth, with the only differences being a large cloud of fog covering the entire world, the lack of other lifeforms excluding those created by Garee and a few other differences, where he hunted them down as if it was a game all while taunting them, before killing his victims.

In 2017, when only four were left, Garee arrived in Europe once more, having been informed that the last European member of this group lives in the continent. Hunting him down in Belgium, Garee manipulated events and ultimately trapped said human - Thomas Dewalter - within the mist dimension. However, unlike those before him, Thomas was highly resilient against Garee's traps and manipulation, developing his powers earlier than his predecessors and putting up more of a fight when encountering him.

Ultimately, Thomas finally gained the potency to return to his home world, but Garee warps in front of the man and engages in combat, where he surprisingly turns up defeated. Deeming his opponent worthy enough to be declared the winner of the game, Garee spared the man and let him go. This personality trait - where victims that are worthy enough are allowed to escape unharmed and lead their lives once more - remained with the creature for the other three victims he hunted down, managing to kill one more, while the other two stalemated Garee in combat and were spared.

Appearance
Garee takes on many shapes, but his true form is a form consisting of one oval-like shape, three other shapes that seem to randomly shift between geometrical shapes and four floating claw arms, independent from his "torso" and "head". The body parts are gray and transparent. Atop the head are two horns, and for the rest it contains two red, orb-shaped eyes and a large, gaping, fanged mouth, also completely red in colour.

Personality
Garee's character varies depending on the actions of his victims. In general, Garee is cold, cruel, sadistic, heartless and unrelenting, enjoying the pain, suffering and torture of his victims.

He seems to consider killing a "fun" and "amusing" hobby along with devouring their souls for lunch. Garee is a twisted individual, manipulating the entire lives of his victims, killing their loved ones, constantly applying them bad luck and misfortune, spawning despair and destruction across their entire lifespan, throwing them into his mist world and messing with their minds and sanity before finally finishing his job and ending their misery.

On the other hand, Garee can also be a somewhat kind person. If his victims are deemed worthy enough, stalemate or defeat him in combat or manage to outwit him or escape his world, Garee will let them go and revert all damage out of respect, even making their lives better than it already was, making the persons loved by everyone, have constant good luck and have peace and joy all around them. Another of his policies is where Garee will not pursue innocent witnesses or those that have otherwise caught notice of his actions who have nothing to do with his victims. He will also never kill children, pregnant women, the elderly and terminally ill, physically impaired or mentally handicapped people under any circumstances unless they happen to be one of the humans he is looking for (i. e. those with willpower and unexplored capacities and abilities). If the victim is a child or pregnant woman, he will wait until the child grew up or until the woman has brought life to their baby, respectively (though he still doesn't mind making a child grow up without a guardian or potentially become orphan).
