Defender

Description
Defenders are a subclass of Warriors.

Defender
Defenders were costly but worth at least three average guards.

It took a long time to train a Defender, so long in fact that their numbers could not be replenished, and eventually none remained.

Before engaging a foe they would strike fear into their heart.

A Defender who was the first to flee from a losing battle was greatly dishonored.

Guardian
A Guardian's initiation was highly secretive.

They did did not leave their king's side, even if their king fell in battle.

Few throughout history dared challenge the Guardians whilst on duty.

Their spiked greaves ensured even bystanders kept their distance from their wards.

King's Guard
King's Guard took a vow of silence during their first year of service.

Many of the Hollow King's Guards became Hollow Knights after the Fracture.

Most quit after the wars of the post-Fracture, so disheartened were they at their perceived failures.

"The King's Guard sees all. Hears all."
