Pontifex Guards are troops which often serve as the protectors and enforcers of Apostate Cardinals. Known to be fanatically loyal, these warriors are grim followers of the anti-Imperial ideology of their masters. They are the elites of the elites of the Lost and the Damned and their skill is needed in defending such an important figure in the renegade army. Pontifex Guards not only accompany their guardian but also helps further spread his/her blasphemous ideology upon defenseless Imperial worlds.
It is unknown how many Pontifex Guards are needed to protect the Cardinal, but it is estimated to be around a few dozen at maximum. To be promoted into the Pontifex Guards, the aspiring mortal must be zealous, loyal (to the Cardinal or the Cardinal and the will of the Dark Gods depending on how far their Cardinal's fallen) at its most extreme and must endure a set of grueling tests to prove his worth to the Cardinal.
