Taran Guards

"Here, in the Sagittar's red claw, few units are as honored as the Taran guards, or Wychlaran. Guarding the Red Queen and the Gene-Wardens, their word is law."

"Those that know of the Red Cabal know they also help investigate any crime brought before the cabal, and punish and wrongdoers so identified."

"Those of a more suspicious bent wonder who, if not the leaders of the Guards, are part of the Cabal."

"Those with imagination are more curious about who else is on the Cabal, and what they had to do to give orders to these stone-cold killers... The answers have scared a few of those with too much imagination, but perhaps, that just proves they had... enough."

"Or the the Betrayed Queen just likes whoever was left."

Tactics

As elite bodyguard unit, the Taran guards prefer to use misdirection and threat of overwhelming force to protect their charges.
