Elite Praetorian Guard

The Elite Praetorian Guard was a unit of deadly crimson-armored warriors who gained notoriety during the New Republic Era. Like the Imperial Royal Guards who protected Emperor Palpatine during the reign of the Galactic Empire, the Praetorian Guards served as elite personal bodyguards of Supreme Leader Snoke, ruler of the military junta and hermetic state known as the First Order. As such, they were trained to protect the Supreme Leader by meeting any threat with a ferocious response. Clad in red armor and robes, the Praetorian Guards' appearance deliberately echoed that of the Emperor's royal guardsmen.
As combatants they specialized in several forms of martial arts, such as Teräs Käsi, a hand-to-hand technique created to fight Jedi. They also wore armor that nullified the abilities of a Force-sensitive against them, and carried various high-tech melee weapons. In addition, Snoke himself provided further enhancements to his guards through unknown means, and ensured that they were completely loyal to only him no matter what. The Praetorian Guards were considered by Snoke to be the most enhanced that a human could physically become in every aspect, and were considered so deadly that even the Knights of Ren were wary around them, taking special care to not anger their master while in the Guards' presence.
