TheGuardians (守リ人,Mori Bito) are people from a variety of organizations who are assigned to protect and support their respective Pillar, ranging from the second to the sixth. 

Overview[]

When one of theEight Pillars joins theWhite-Clad or otherwise falls into the hands of theEvangelist, one of her followers is chosen to be their Guardian. The Guardians job is to protect their designated Pillar, even at the cost of their own life. The term is also used to describe those outside the White Clad that protect and support a Pillar outside the organization.

A Guardian is chosen based on the strengths and weaknesses of their Pillar. For example, the Fifth Pillar, Inca is able to detect and ignite trace pathways of heat, allowing her to make her target burst into flames. While Inca's Guardian, Ritsu, is able to manipulate the ashes from charred corpses and use them to augmentInfernals. By Ritsu's own admission, with Inca's power supporting her, she could use her ability to its fullest potential. Through cooperation and establishing a relationship, both Pillar and Guardian can work together efficiently.

The exact dynamic of each duo and their methods are unique to each pairing and can be disastrous if the pairs are suddenly changed. WithArrow acting on the behalf of hercharge while they remain away from the battlefield. Meanwhile,Ritsu uses the support of herally's abilities to use her own abilities more freely.
