Watch Lower Guards

Watch Lower Guards are the most basic soldiers of the City Watch, and as such, the weakest. They are new recruits and are only issued a standard sword and uniform, not even with a helmet. Most members of the Lower Guard are recruited from prisons."The Lower Guard finds their recruits in prison cells."
They have no ranged attack, but will pick up debris (rocks, bricks, etc.) and throw it at Corvo Attano. They are noticeably more cowardly than City Watch Officers or City Watch Guards; if one of them dies in front of the others, they will flee to safety and sound an alarm.
Despite their weaknesses, they are still brutal (particularly to ordinary citizens), and are known to be ill-mannered and unkempt. They are almost always accompanied by an Officer or member of the Guard.
