Guardians



The Guardians (Japanese: ガーデイアン, Gādeian ) are protectors of Quarton. They are known as Zephyrus, Boreas, Eurus, and Notus.

About
Long ago, the Guardians would assemble the Quartonians to honor the Tenkai Knights, the greatest wielders of Tenkai Energy. When Vilius's lust for Tenkai Energy reached the tipping point and consumed him, the Guardians made the decision to dismiss him from the Tenkai Knights.

Vilius returned later with a Corrupted army to attack them with his newly discovered ability to absorb the Tenkai Energy. Vilius himself managed to ambush the Guardians and attempted to drain them of all their energy. The Knights pushed back the Corrupted Army's attack and arrived at the Guardians' Chambers to rescue them. The Knights reached the Guardians' chambers in time to face Vilius and rescue Boreas.

During the war that came after, the Guardians watched as Vilius awakened the Tenkai Dragon.

Years later, Guardian Boreas went to Earth in search of the new Tenkai Knights. Lately, the Guardians have argued whether or not to be involved in the war between Vilius and the Corekai.

In the Series
In "A New Knight", they all agreed to stop Vilius from controlling the two worlds. They used a shield to protect the Knights from being hit by the blast of the Evil Tenkai Dragon and used an ancient spell to seal the dragon, so the Knights could revive the Tenkai Dragon by using the White Key.

In "Vilius Returns", they revived Vilius, which caused him to take the Guardians energy to make him more superior than them. They're now held prisoners by him, and the now-evil Guardians are a darker gray with a red full eye. However, the "red full eye" scene is only seen in Vilius' new "sky fortress."

Trivia
