The Chain

==Summary==
The Chain is the first of the Guardians chosen to contain the Stranger. Acting as his jailer, he takes great pleasure in torturing him and even enjoys his attempt at escaping, as it allows to hurt him even more. However, he is eventually defeated and killed, spitefully promising with his last words to the Stranger that someone else will break his spirit and bring him back to his prison.
==Powers and Stats==

Name: The Chain 
Origin: Furi
Gender: Male 
Age: Unknown 
Classification: Guardian 
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Weapon Mastery, Electricity Manipulation (Can deliver close range electric shocks), Regeneration (Low. Most bosses in Furi are capable of recovering health upon briefly knocking out the Rider or even just getting a few moments to recover), Teleportation (Can teleport in quick succession to throw off foes or reposition himself), likely Immortality (Type 1. The Jailers were meant to keep the Rider captive for eternity and live through it all themselves, with all of them being unable to leave their positions or be replaced), Vibration Manipulation (Can attack with shockwaves by slamming the ground), Energy Projection and Danmaku (Can fire rapid bursts of energy bullets or even waves of different kinds all at once. When nearing defeat, will begin firing out an incredibly dense and complex pattern of bullets and energy waves for almost a whole minute straight), Homing Attack (Purple energy shots home in onto enemies), Weapon Control, Elasticity and Energy Manipulation (Can control his staff's path upon throwing it and cause it to grow to great lengths, with it being accompanied by an aura of energy when swung, which he can also shoot away from the staff, sending it sweeping along the ground), Forcefield Creation (Can surround himself with a forcefield), Awakened Power (When nearing defeat, the Chain will become much more powerful, with his attacks also becoming far more difficult to overcome, firing out an incredibly dense and complex pattern of bullets and energy waves for almost a whole minute straight, then a combo of melee attacks) 
Attack Potency: At least City Block level, possibly Small Town level+ or far higher (Fought the Stranger) 
Speed: Superhuman running speed (Can run at speeds comparable to the Stranger's), Sub-Relativistic+ combat speed (Fought the Stranger) 
Lifting Strength: Class K (Can grapple the Rider)
Striking Strength: At least City Block level, possibly Small Town level+ or far higher 
Durability: At least City Block level, possibly Small Town level+ or far higher 
Stamina: Superhuman. Can fight the Rider over and over with little pause until his eventual loss, possibly receiving great amounts of damage in every battle. Capable of entering an even more powerful state when nearing defeat after a long fight in which he received great amounts of damage. 
Range: Extended Melee Range, Tens of Meters with ranged attacks 
Standard Equipment: Staff, Taser/Energy Gun, armor
Intelligence: Above Average. While crude, arrogant and sadistic, the Chain is one of the Guardians, warriors hand-picked to contain the Rider, and is as such extremely skilled, as the first line of defense against him. 
Standard Tactics: The Chain is incredibly cruel and sadistic, actively enjoying dishing out pain in a fight, though it should be noted that he is only seen interacting with the Stranger, an alien invader who had caused untold amounts of devastation to his world, and might as such be less inhuman to other foes. Against him, he starts off holding back, possibly to inflict more pain upon him, and only gets serious a little bit into the fight. Perfectly proficient in both ranged and close-up combat, the Chain utilizes his teleportation to command the flow of the fight, teleporting up close to attack with his staff or away to use energy attacks with safety. The Chain's masks rotate around his face as the fight continues, signaling a change of strategy and increase in brutality. When nearing defeat, the Chain will enter a much stronger "desperation state", with his attacks becoming far more difficult to overcome, firing out an incredibly dense and complex pattern of bullets and energy waves for almost a whole minute straight, then a combo of melee attacks. 
Weaknesses: The Chain's shield can be worn down with enough attacks
