Shadow Guard

The Shadow Guard, sometimes referred to as the Empire Guard or Supremacy Guard, was an elite unit of the Ghost Empire's armed forces tasked with the protection of the King, Asolas. They were formerly ruled by the Ethron Supremacy before the Ghost Empire was founded.
== Organisation and philosophy ==
This group was rumoured for being a fierce fighting force and were personally hand picked by the Ethrons and Asolas to serve as bodyguards. They were indoctrinated in the service of Asolas to the point that they were completely subservient to his will. The members of this bodyguard detail were completely devoted to Asolas and gladly gave their lives in his service. Those individuals that were part of the organisation were trained to serve the Asolas loyally and completely. They would instantly turn against one another if commanded to do so and killed their fellow guardsmen without hesitation though they did feel remorse for doing so. They were so well trained that even when injured, they did not ask for mercy and none was afforded to them. 
== History ==
=== Origins ===
The Shadow Guard's origin dated to the turbulent years of the Ethron Supremacy before the outbreak of the Ghost Wars. The Shadow Guard was charged with the protection of King Tamaeus and was comprised of soldiers all of whom were skilled at combat. 
=== Service to Asolas ===
After the Ethron Supremacy fell and and the Ghost Empire formed, the Shadow Guard stood to safeguard the new King, Asolas. They remained as silent warriors that stood as elite protectors for the King. 
== Physical attributes ==
Shadow Guards wore matching black robes, battle armor (underneath a loose fitting tunic, as it was not visible under the robe), and helmets. Although ceremonial, the black armor did not hamper movement or fighting. The armor bore design influences from the uniforms of the Ethrons.
