Guard (The After Years)

Guard refers to three generic Damcyan soldiers that accompany Edward in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, referred to as Guard A, B, and C.

Story
The Guards first accompany Edward when he leaves to investigate the Impact Crater when Harley fails to return after being sent their earlier. When Baron sends a messenger after the group returns telling Edward that Cecil wishes other countries not disturb the meteor, Edward, Harley and the guards travel through the Underground Waterway to Kaipo, seeking a ship to Baron. When Harley is struck by desert fever, the Guards stay behind to watch over her while Edward heads to the Antlion's Den and retrieves a Sand Pearl to heal her. With Harley cured the group boards a ship to Baron, and the Guards are not seen again once Edward's Tale ends during their trip back to Kaipo.

Battle
As they are guest characters the Guards have no special abilities, no Bands, and no MP. They can equip swords and heavy equipment. Guard A has the highest HP among the three, but also the lowest Speed. Guard B has the highest Speed but lowest Stamina. Guard C has the lowest HP but middling stats between the three otherwise. The three Guards are available as party members during Edward's Challenge Dungeon.
