Boros Legion

A brown-bearded, broad-chested man in clad massive-shouldered plate armor led a battalion of soldiers, the symbol of the Boros Legion emblazoned on white cloth draped over their armor. Their soldiers were a variety of races. including humans, a minotaur with a permanent scowl on her face, an impatient-looking goblin. and even some kind of humanoid fire elemental. whose Boros armor floated in protective positions over its animate flame. The faces of the legion is many...

Structure

The Boros zealously embrace justice and the good of the community, and they are willing to use any means to enforce those beliefs. The structure of this guild is hierarchical and authoritarian. Every Boros member knows his or her place between superiors and those of lesser ranks, and there are protocols for interactions among those different ranks.

Ambition toward personal advancement is discouraged. Guild members are taught to respect each other for what service they provide to the guild and to society. In the Legion, everyone has a well-defined function based on rank. From the grunts to the angels, each individual is tasked with particular responsibilities to ensure an efficient execution of Boros ideals. Passion and zeal are encouraged as long as they fit within the belief structures of the guild.

Militant Justice

The Boros Legion is the guild of righteous law and fierce justice. The most formidable military force on Ravnica, the Boros are efficient, self-assured, and passionate in the pursuit of their ideals. Sunhome, the Boros guildhall, serves as both barracks and focal point of worship.

The floating citadel known as Parhelion II, restored from the remains of the destroyed Parhelion I, occupies an awe-inspiring place in Ravnica's sky. The Boros believe passionately in law; to them it is the structure by which society functions and acts as the road map for the community's health and safety.

Anything that violates the letter of the law, threatens the spirit of the law, or obstructs the enforcement of the law is considered an enemy of the Boros Legion. In effect, anyone who disagrees with the Boros is an enemy of the Boros.

Weakness

Aurelia, the current guildmaster believes that weakness cannot be tolerated in the ranks of Boros. She espouses new battle tactics and coordinated assault groups. In effect, Aurelia has taken all of the existing Boros ideals and increased their intensity. To outsiders, she is a warmonger. To her devoted followers, she is slicing through old inefficiencies to achieve greater effect while staying true to the impassioned ideals of the guild.

Public Agenda

The Boros Legion is defined by the tension between its goal of establishing order and harmony and the fiery zeal that drives many of its members. The guild stands for peace and justice, which can be established only through the rule of law. Its moral stance is fundamentally good, as it strives to protect the innocent and powerless from oppression and exploitation.

At the sametime, members of the legion are passionate about their pursuit of justice, spurred by their righteous wrath into action against evil and injustice. ironically, this means that individual members sometimes break the rules they are charged with enforcing, cleaving to the spirit of the law when the letter no longer serves justice

History

Razia

The Boros Legion was founded by parun Razia, a militant flaming-sword-wielding archangel capable of using flame and light magic who fervently and firmly believed in harmonious coexistence on Ravnica, even if lives were lost and blood was shed in achieving this. She had lived even before the guildpact until the Decamillennial, whereupon she was killed by Szadek who impaled her with her own sword.

Agrus Kos

Agrus Kos was an officer of the League of Wojek in the Boros Legion. From a young age, Kos believed in upholding the law. As an orphan, his only dream was to join the Boros and protect the citizenry of Ravnica. Kos epitomized the tough "street cop" archetype, complete with a drinking problem and a distaste for rookies.

Agrus and his partner Bell Borca stumbled across a conspiracy which threatened the entire world. Unfortunately for Borca, that discovery cost him his life. Through a long lead of investigation and with the help of the formal Parun of Golgari, Jared, the two were able to put a stop to Szadek's plan at the last second. Arresting the Dimir guildleader to answer for his crimes.

Feather

Pierakor az Vinrenn D'rav, better known as Feather, was a Boros Firemane angel, who spent much time as Agrus Kos's partner. She was placed in the League of Wojek for undisclosed reasons, and her wings were bound until her service with the Wojeks was considered appeased. After the events of the decamillenia, Kos freed her wings and she vanished, looking for the missing Parhelion.

She reappeared when she sensed Kos's death. She was chosen as one of his pallbearers, but vanished again shortly after. Her whereabouts during all those years were finally explained when she came to submit herself for arrest, when it was revealed that she is the last surviving of the Boros angels, the rest having been killed by Szadek's ghost army. After the dissolution of the guildpact, she was named as the Boros Guildmaster.

Her tenure as Guildmaster was challenged by Aurelia, who believed that no angel who had been disgraced had a right to rule. She garnered much support in her crusade and Feather was imprisoned until her final fate could be decided. Feather was freed, however, during a secretive raid performed by Krenko.

Aurelia

The current guild leader is Aurelia, a former angel warleader who ascended to the rank of archangel. After the death of Razia, the Boros parun, and the disgrace of the previous angel guildmaster, Feather, warleader Aurelia won authority of the guild. Aurelia challenged Feather's ascendancy, arguing that a disgraced angel couldn't command authority or respect.

Many agreed, and the few who didn't were quickly shamed into silence. Now that her authority is secure, Aurelia engenders the same respect and awe as Razia, the original parun. But while Razia was more of a figurehead, aloof and untouchable, Aurelia is an active, forceful leader who is directly involved with her underlings.
