Well, the RP character had "Sephiroth clone" on his description, so he's definately inspired by Final Fantasy.

However, I have no clue where that art came from...

what the hell!? I searched google with the following keywords : Gaert sword

ALOT referring to a certain ''Gaert'' from GW...

this can't be a scam...I mean there cant be 1000 websites trying to scam with an unexisting GW sword or even a GW character...

perhaps just another name they are using for an NPC in the game?

I think is a case of one shady company making said sword, and selling it (along with its made up "sell copy") to other sword companies who don't bother to research or check up.

FACT: This is NOT a GW sword. It's not authorized by Anet, and the skin does not appear in game (well, something like it might, but not the exact skin).

"Gaert" is not a Guild Wars character, nor based on one as far as I can tell. Do another google search and see what you come up with. The only thing I could find references to it is in fan fiction.

I did a search for the art and came up blank. It's used as Avatars on Russian and French fantasy sites, but I have no idea where the original art came from. It could be fan drawn, and I believe it's based on a Final Fantasy style of art.

Thing looks shoddily made, and it's just barely 3 feet long total. Waste of money on any bidder's part.

my point in giving the name

I know it's a shady ripoff of some sword-making company; just illustrating where the familiar name might come from.

I tried looking up on the sword. I had Azhar Trading & Co pop up on the search. There are some items that that seem to share a similar pattern with the Gaert Sword advertising. There is a replica of three swords on the site, refering from same movie, with three submitted designs which don't seem to match each other very much except by name. I could be wrong, but it's bugging me that I can't find out it's origins.

Makes me think of Geralt; the player character in The Witcher. He's got white hair too xD
