Entire Figure: Crimson Guard Officer v1

Given that the Crimson Guard are already Cobra's elite troopers, I am not sure the actual role the Shadow Guard held. Their role, as explained on their file card, could more effectively be carried out by other "commando" operatives with less risk to deep cover operatives.

So in my world, the Crimson Shadow Guard are more like Cobra's Gestapo or Secret Police. They root out potential traitors and spies in the organization. Then they quietly make those threats "disappear."
