<p>99.27.66.67: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Era|AC4}}<br /> {{Spoilerhd}}<br /> {{Stub}}<br /> The '''Guardians''' were a group of warrior natives, likely related to the [[Taíno]] people, that were known to live in [[Long Bay]], [[Jamaica]]. Secretive in their dealings, they isolated themselves from other tribes and dedicated themselves to protecting an ancient [[First Civilization]] structure, known as the [[Observatory]], against all intruders. They were tasked with its defense sometime during the mid-16th century by a [[Sages|Sage]].<br /> <br /> Guardians used stealth and secrecy as their primary tactics, hiding in [[Hiding spots|foliage]] to remain undetected as they eliminated unsuspecting targets with their [[blowpipe]]s and [[throwing knives]]. They were known to also hang their victims from trees above the trail to discourage intruders from making their way further into the jungle.<br /> <br /> The Sage [[Thom Kavanagh]] arrived at the Observatory sometime between 1670 and 1706, and was initially attacked by the Guardians until they recognized his face and knew that he was a Sage. Kavanagh lived with the Guardians until his death, after which they buried him in a secluded spot in the jungle. Other than Kavanagh, and the Sage who had first given them thier task of protection, it is unknown if the Guardians came into contact with any other Sages.<br /> <br /> When the [[Piracy|pirate]] [[Edward Kenway]] arrived in Long Bay in 1719 with the Sage [[Bartholomew Roberts]], he was forced to dispatch several Guardians in order to safely lead Roberts and his men to the Observatory's entrance. Three years later, when the [[Templars|Templar]] [[Grand Master]] [[Laureano de Torres y Ayala]] and his [[Spanish Navy|Spanish]] troops arrived at the complex, the Guardians fought back but were either killed or captured. Kenway once again made his way through the jungle, freeing the Guardians along the way.<br /> <br /> It is also likely that the members of the Mohawk tribe, during the events of Assassin's Creed 3, acted in a similar role to protect the Grand Temple in Turin, New York.<br /> <br /> ==Reference==<br /> *''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''<br /> [[Category:Taíno]]</div>
