He blames much of the Empire's recent decline on incompetent oligarchs and aristocrats whose ancient laws and traditions keep them in power by right of blood or wealth, rather than merit, intellect or ability. Garios's claim to unify Calradia as Emperor is based on his own disdain for his predecessors and the Senate. As these policies were likely blocked or gridlocked by the oligarchic forces of the Senate and feudal influences of the aristocracy and former Emperors, his ascendancy as claimant for Emperor is likely a combination of his popularity with the Imperial armies and his populist political agenda.

During the waning days of the Empire, he allegedly pushed for key reforms such as veteran land grants and popular trial by assembly. Garios represents the populist faction of the Calradic Empire, and has the backing of most of the former Empire's more esteemed soldiers and commanders. He often demands that the 'people' should settle key issues, but in practice this usually means an assembly of his soldiers, where his veterans can be counted on to shut down opposition. He is deeply loved by his soldiers, both for his solid record in winning battles and for his insistence that his veterans be compensated in land afterwards. The western third of the Empire is ruled by Garios, a charismatic general who represents a longstanding populist trend in imperial politics.
