We are the Crimson Guard, also knowns as Seigies(CG). We serve as an elite force for the COBRA Organization, the nemesis of the G.I. Joe team and the world's corrupt governments. As with all soldiers of COBRA, we fight on land, sea and air acting as officers as well as serving as the mighty Cobra Commander's personal bodyguards. We serve more as bodyguards than anything else though.
We warriors are the most elite soldiers of Cobra's Viper legions under the command of the mirror twins Tomax and Xamot, who handle all of COBRA's business affairs. They are in direct command of the Crimson Guard; however, Tomax and Xamot are loyal to Cobra Commander, in turn, putting the Crimson Guard at Cobra Commander's disposal.
Building the Crimson Guard network was the first thing Cobra Commander did after founding COBRA. Each member of Crimson Guard operates in secret all over the country in the political arenas and business world. This allows us to serve COBRA by gaining the organization things it needs through legitmate means. All Siegies must hold a degree in either law or accounting as well as being in top physical condition. Each member is rigorously trained, with the most demanding training regime in all of COBRA, and inducted in a secret ceramony in the lowest levels of COBRA's headquarters. To be a Crimson Guard is to swear absolute loyalty to COBRA and Cobra Commander!!!
To prove our loyalty many members of the Seigies become part of a "series", the most famous of this is the Fred Series. These Crimson Gaurdsmen undergo plastic surgery to look like one another, allowing a member to completely replace another member should the need arise.
The most famous Crimson Guard is undoubtedly Fred VII, he was an owner of an auto repair shop and developer of advanced cybernetic and bionic devices. This Fred gained infamy when, from 1987 to the early 1990s, he somewhat successfully impersonated Cobra Commander, after believing him killed in a foolishly failed attempt on his life. He was killed when our real Cobra Commander returned.
There are newer incarnations of the Crimson Guard. The first is the new Crimson Guard which features a slightly redesigned look, most notably replacing the original military style shirt with something resembling a stylish leather jacket. The second is a new subset, featuring the 2005 Crimson Guard Force redone in black and gold, with melee weapons, and named Crimson Shadow Guard.
The Crimson Shadow Guard forces do their dark deeds in the dark hours of the night. Like all Crimson Guard troops, they are highly educated and well trained individuals who conduct most of their battles within the system, corrupting and manipulating laws, business and monetary funds to benefit COBRA. In the night and in the shadows, the Crimson Shadow Guard is preparing to rise up and take control....and no one can stop them!!!
