Myrmidon

Myrmidons were the personal elite bodyguards of Chatelaine Thessalia, noted by their better training and equipment compared to the ceremonial "cosmic opera servitors" of other Houses. The myrmidons served as the Order of the Weal's shock troops when needed, and were permanently stationed on the Order's four allotted timeships. (PROSE: The Book of the War)

Like the rest of the Order, the myrmidons did not carry guns, but they were armed with knifes pocked with airholes so that the blades "breathed and sang when they were drawn". (PROSE: Newtons Sleep)
