Velvet Guard

The Velvet Guard were an elite task force within the Church of the One meant to protect the God-Emperor and the Hand of Titus, as well as carry out extremely important missions involving espionage or dangerous enemies. They were known for wearing samurai-like armor, helmets, and robes in either red, violet, blue, or black, as well as being completely silent, although when undercover they could easily blend into the public.
The Guard were taken from birth from families that had the greatest genetic potential and trained to become the most dangerous combatants in the solar system, proficient with nearly every known weapon and martial art. In addition to this, they were subject to extremely painful surgeries to remove their limbs and replace them with more powerful metal variants. Their eyes and ears were also replaced, and finally, their minds were enhanced with computers allowing them to think faster and more efficiently, cementing their loyalty to the Church, and removing them of all emotion - although they could simulate it perfectly.
