Blood Guard: Difference between revisions

The '''Blood Guard''' is an elite unit of the [[Red Legion]]. Described as [[Dominus Ghaul]]'s "chosen" and would die for their leader,<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Payback]]''</ref> they often serve as commanders of operations throughout the [[Red War]] and can also be found serving as bodyguards to high-ranking [[Cabal]] officers.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Unbroken]]''</ref> They can be identified by their heavy, all-red armor, which often features prominent horsehair-like crests.  

The Blood Guard has members filling the roles of Legionnaires, Incendiors, Centurions, and Colossi and are frequently seen serving as an Honor Guard centered around Red Legion Hardpoints or points of interest. It is heavily inferred Blood Guard are also enforcers amongst the Red Legion to help carry out the will of the Dominus or acting Red Legion leader along with serving as a royal guard and field operatives. Considering the Legion's armor scheme with commanders and Ultras wearing Gold, his personal bodyguard along with the Guard's instability after his fall, it can be inferred [[Thumos, the Unbroken]] was a commander of the Blood Guard if not its leader.

In Ca'our's short eight-month reign, the Blood Guard were encountered far more frequently in the field until his subsequent death where the Blood Guard began to fracture into individual lead cells as their primary purpose for existing had been shattered. The largest case was several Blood Guard defecting to the "Unbowed Legion" of the [[Cabal Deserters]] in the form of [[Uprooted Centurion|Uprooted]] [[Uprooted Gladiator|Red]] [[Uprooted Incendior|Legion]].  

 

Following the events of the [[Empress Caiatl|Empress']] arrival into the Solar System, the remaining Blood Guard have resurfaced amongst the fields of multiple [[Battlegrounds]] acting as field commanders, shieldbearers, and unstable fuel cell holders.
