History
Shield Guard’s party accepted Su Ran when he was a struggling Scholar whom other pickup parties had turned away. In Dark Rat Nest, Shield Guard held the line against a swarm until Su Ran’s Light Spell blinded the rats, allowing the party to defeat them and the Rat King 1 34.
The group next cleared Skeleton Graveyard, combining Shield Guard’s defense with Light Spell scrolls and the spearmen’s attacks. They ran the easy dungeon daily for a week, becoming increasingly coordinated 6 7 8.
Shield Guard later invited Su Ran to the newly opened Crouching Tiger Slope. The party killed three Lv.2 tigers before Shield Guard called for a retreat, citing the group’s exhaustion and damage to his shield 19 21 22.
An emergency conscription order then called Shield Guard and Spearman back to their hometown of Linhai Town. After they had been offline for more than a week, Su Ran joined an operation near the town and sought news of them. A document officer reported that they had most likely fallen during a Fishman raid, when local defenders held the front line long enough for civilians and some of the garrison to evacuate 25 34 37 38.
Appearance
- Burly, with a rugged appearance and a rough voice 6 38.
- Wore leather armor over his chest and carried a tower shield nearly as tall as himself 6.
Personality
Shield Guard valued careful tactics over reckless charges and welcomed Su Ran’s plan to advance steadily through Skeleton Graveyard. He was enthusiastic about profitable dungeon runs and openly grateful for his teammates’ contributions, but recognized when his party had reached its limits 6 22.

- Used shield bashes and charges to displace enemies, including a shield-bearing skeleton and three light-weakened skeletons 6 7.

Berserk enhancement
Su Ran used a Berserk scroll on Shield Guard during the first tiger fight; the ability was not established as Shield Guard’s own skill 21.
