War Expertise: These soldiers have been trained since birth in the arts of war, combat and swordsmanship.Ancient Weaponry: Having been trained in older forms of weaponry, the Stormguard soldiers can expertly use weapons, such as bow and arrows or katanas.Possibly due to their ancestry, they are also taller than most Solarii members. Enhanced Condition: They are faster, stronger and more durable than the average Solarii members.This also explains their inhuman war cries which is oddly strange.
Undead Physiology: They have been alive for centuries, due to the curse placed on them by the Sun Queen.This can be seen by how the Stormguard only attacked him after he came too close.Īfter Himiko's supposed final death when Lara destroyed her old body, it is possible that the Stormguards either committed mass seppuku for failure to protect their Queen, died automatically after being released from the curse, or continued to live before they were completely wiped out by Trinity during their cleanup operation of Yamatai. It is also possible that he was not actually trespassing and was thus not attacked. They were possibly baffled by how he simply approached them, and only did so when he said the word "Joō (Japanese for 'Queen')". Oddly, they did not immediately attack James Whitman upon seeing him. They eat human flesh to gain life energy. They were cursed along with their queen's soul. Upon Lara's arrival, the Stormguard Stalker appeared to be the leader, as he was seen at the head of the Stormguards when preparing for battle, sending guards after Lara when she was detected, and he would howl an unearthly roar to signal a new wave of Stormguards to fight Lara.Ĭlad in medieval samurai armor, these soldiers were hostile to any and all outsiders, including Mathias, and the Solarii cultists. They were lead by a general until he committed seppuku upon the death of the Sun Queen's bodily successor, Hoshi, who discovered the nature of the ceremony and killed herself with a dagger she stole from the general. Before the ceremony to transfer Himiko's soul into another, more suitable body, they were planning to cross the ocean to touch and conquer all lands. Using the Sun Queen's power over the sun and rain, she would raise up a mighty storm that the Stormguards would ride upon to destroy their enemy. Legend has it, the Sun Queen was able to conquer the lands of Yamatai thanks to her Stormguards, who were unmatched in combat. While the exact formation of the Stormguards is entirely unknown, it is possible that they were first formed during Himiko's first lifetime during 200AD.
