The Blood Guard Keshik is the elite command unit of the entire Clan Blood Spirit touman.[1]

History

Every member of the Blood Guard Keshik is chosen by the Khan or saKhan. Once chosen the warrior must pass a Trial of Position to join the Keshik, though the Loremaster can veto any warrior's joining the unit. The Loremaster is responsible for vetting the warrior's ability to work with other Clans, so if the Loremaster votes no, it means that the warrior lacks the heart and soul of a Blood Spirit. These tests and evaluations insure that the Keshik is composed of only the finest warriors.

Remained on Strana Mechty despite the Star Adder incursion on York.

Officers

As of 3059 the commanding officer was Khan Karianna Schmitt[1], she took also the command in 3067.[2]

Tactics

The Blood Guards are equipped with heavy and assault class units, allowing them to engage the enemy in a massive charge. This berserk charge would be disastrous if attempted by other units, but the Guards skill and equipment generally allows them to succeed.[1]
