The Imperial Guard [1] is an elite unit in the Torumekian military that guards the Vai Emperor and performs select missions.
Prior to the start of the manga, the Imperial Guard raided Pejitei in a night attack after the Pejitei people found the God Warrior. While they were able to secure the God Warrior for the Vai Emperor, they failed to capture the Control Stone.
The Imperial Guard briefly invaded the Valley of the Wind in pursuit of the Control Stone [2] under the command of Kushana but retreated rather than violate the ancient treaties with the Autonomous States of the Periphery.
