They are genetically engineered and augmented [[Human]]s that often wear red robes and bronze masks that showed green mechanical eyes or other colors and augments befitting the [[forge world]] they or their ward hails from. Members of the Protectors typically carry weapon staves or [[Transonic Weapon|transonic]] halberds and serve as personal protectors of tech priests of high station, such as [[explorator]]s, or as the personal guards within a techpriest's [[forge]].
