Protectors are soldiers and guards of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
They are genetically engineered and augmented Humans that can have a variety of augments to better serve in their roles. Some are noted as wearing bronze masks with showed mechanical green eyes or have red-tinted occular sensors replacing their organic eyes. Like many blessed acolytes of the Machine God, they can be augmented beyond the concerns of void exposure, as well as have additional mechanical limbs. Some wear red robes or other colors befitting the forge world they or their ward hails from.
Members of the Protectors typically carry staved weapons, such as transonic halberds, and serve as personal protectors of tech priests of high station, such as explorators, or as the personal guards within a techpriest's forge. Some are noted as smelling of spoilt, decayed meat and oils.
Protectors are often afforded access to noospheric communion with the tech priests and their colleagues they dutifully ward.[3a]
