I don't even know why they had thms and cons when they were supposed to have a "natural ineptitude", personally.
I remember seeing a blog post somewhere, where the writer played with a thought, that Garleans might not actually be humans. He based his theory on some observations concerning their jaw- and chinlines, and the filters in Baelsar's mask.

I don't remember much from their fortress in Mor Dhona (where you had to disable the Lunar Transmitter), but i think all the higher ranking officers, that wore a mask, didn't cast magic. All the THM's and CON's were humans, which were probably enslaved and recruited by the VIIth legion from the previously conquered lands around Aldenard.
