Sarafan guards

'''

Sarafan Guards, also known as Guards,  wereEnemy characters featured in Blood Omen 2, they were the first Sarafan class encountered by Kain and were seen in the Smuggler's Den and throughout Meridian.

Sarafan Guards were the lowest ranked  and most basic troops of the Sarafan order in the Post-Blood Omen era. When Kain returned from his slumber, he heard much about the Sarafan Guards as he passed through the Slums and Smuggler's Den, and after Kain met the Cabal Contact in the The Tavern the barkeep was alerted to Kain's presence and he was able to observe the first Guards looking into the Tavern (though the guards themselves would not enter the building). Later in the Chapter, Kain met the guards in combat in the nearby churchyard leading to the Smuggler's Tunnel.

Thereafter, guards were often seen patrolling the streets of Meridian, throughout the Lower City and Upper City where they acted to maintain order. Sarafan Guards would often be seen 'guarding' significant locations but they were not automatically aggressive towards Kain and would not attack Kain in early levels unless Kain provoked them. Sarafan Guards were later seen guarding the Sarafan Keep, where they were much more prone to attack than on the city streets. Guards would last be seen in the diverse Wharves. In combat, Sarafan Guards were more proficient and resilient than (the less armored) Thugs andThieves. Guards were armed with Long Swords and they were the first enemy Kain encountered that had an Unblockable Attack.
