Vanguard Sword

Overview

This is a group of renegades within the branch of the same name of the Vanguard. They are displeased with the way the Vanguard has taken as of lately and have started their own war against the Rikti...and the rest of the Vanguard. Their actions aren't supported by the Vanguard Sword's leader, Gaussian, and much less by the Vanguard's leader, Lady Grey.

They don't spawn in any outdoor zone, and they can be fought only during the Story arc The Red and the Black from Gaussian.
