The Guards

Professional protective detail attached to Scorby’s operation. These guards move as a unit under Scorby’s immediate authority, prioritizing his safety and quick execution of orders during crises. Their presence is functional rather than individual—uniformity in action, silence in demeanor, and readiness to obey commands without visible hesitation. They exist at the periphery of the narrative core, supporting Scorby’s command hierarchy while remaining faceless to other characters and audiences alike. Notably, they appear in at least one grouping of three guards at the Krynoid Containment Cottage during the climax of The Seeds of Doom.
