A Guardian is a Light Fae who devotes his or her life to serving a higher purpose.
Character arc[]
The Guardians, in servitude, donate their body for the protection of something precious and crucial to the Light Fae. They all have a tattoo of a special symbol on one hand that identifies who they are.
A Guardian, who was also a Doonie, stopped to help in what he thought was a roadside emergency, but was instead killed and flayed by Sluaghs in order to procure a secret map that was tattooed on the inside skin of one of his arms, which led to the location of The Heart Stone .
The corpse of a Guardian called Ralph was found in a dumpster with an organic flexible tube implanted along his spinal column. When Lauren used radiology for a closer inspection of his body, it revealed that the tube was actually the sheath of a sword — the Sword of Agros. A Sluagh had killed him to pull the sword out and used it to break The Heart Stone.
