Trojan Soldier/Guard

loyal disciplined dutiful impersonal obedient impartial
Trojan Soldiers/Guards are the disciplined enforcers of order within King Priam's palace, dungeons, and city during the Greek siege of Troy. Serving under the dual authority of Paris (military commander) and Priam (king), they function as neutral executors of royal authority, maintaining security through strict obedience to commands. Their duties include: - City Patrols: Enforcing order in public spaces and fortifications. - Palace Security: Enforcing order in royal spaces, including sheathed weapons during disputes and escorting prisoners to cells. - Dungeon Patrols: Standing watch at cell doors with spears, ready to repel escape attempts by captives (e.g., Steven Taylor and Vicki). Their loyalty anchors the monarchy's control amid the Greek assault, and their presence reflects Troy's militarized response to the siege. They operate without personal initiative but with unwavering loyalty to Trojan command.
