Royal Guard
The most elite non-Knight rank in The Legion.
Royal guards are former Obsidian Knights that have been converted to serve The Legion.
Candidates that are found are captured and mentally broken by The Warden, then put through several deadly trials where all of their skills are tested. Those that live through the trials are then pitted against their brothers in hand to hand combat until one remains.
The victor is then given given their armor and weapons of choice.
Atlas spectates each trial, both to assess the capabilities of the victor, and because he enjoys watching his foes suffer.
Royal Guards are always in close proximity to Atlas and have been corrupted by the crystal, which now controls their consciousness.
They are extremely skilled at close quarters combat and still retain their superhuman strength. Their armor is reforged from their past suit and given new purpose.
Due to the severe hatred the Ashenkin have towards Obsidian Knights, Royal Guards cover their faces and all skin as to keep it a secret that their mortal enemies are closer to Atlas than them.
There are only 12 Royal Guards.
They are led by Jim.
Duties
