Kyrat Royal Guard

The Royal Guard is an elite branch within the Royal Army, and an enemy faction in Far Cry 4. They are based in Kyrat and are commanded by Yuma Lau. They can be found patrolling the North and Himalayas.

Compared to the Royal Army they are much better trained, have superior armour, better weaponry, and vehicles. They are more vicious than their normal counterparts.

Background
Originally a Triad Empire in Hong Kong, they came to Kyrat alongside Pagan Min and Yuma Lau during the Kyrati Civil War and allied themselves with the Royalists in their struggle. After they stormed the palace by force, they killed the distant heir to the throne and betrayed the Royalists, successfully making a hostile takeover.

They are tasked with guarding key members or sensitive locations in Kyrat, such as Pagan, Yuma, the gate to North Kyrat, and Durgesh Prison. Some are stationed in Shanath Arena as part of the challenge itself. Most recently, however, they've been participating in mining operations and archaeological digs in search of the mythical Shangri-La thangkas in hopes of learning its secrets.
