They consider harming others to be an unfortunate necessity of their purpose and only do so when a threat can’t be contained through alternative means.

Description

It’s never been quite clear whether the Trifold Legionaries created Aegis Protocol to protect Triune’s data vaults on Aballon or whether the robotic entity calling themself Aegis Protocol took up the mandate of their own volition after joining the Church of Triune. In either case, this SRO maintains a fervent dedication to their task. They stick to such a stringent routine that most who encounter them first assume them to be an automated security bot. Aegis Protocol doesn’t bother to disabuse anyone of this notion, preferring to keep their own sentience a secret, putting potential adversaries off-guard.
