Their main objective is to protect King Leopold and the citizens from the sudden appearance of Lavos's minions. During the game's timeline, they are seen actively engaging in combat against Drago, a massive creature sent by the ancient threat. While not as politically prominent as Guardia's nobility, their loyalty remains steadfast. They utilize standard medieval weaponry but exist alongside Lucca's inventions, highlighting the unique blend of magic and science in this period.
