Such symbol are the faceless juggernauts, leaving aside the memory of their mortality and furthering their legend to instill fear in the hearts of their enemies at the very sound of their name.
Role: Most faceless juggernauts strife for revenge, but rarely they devote themselves to the protection of persons, cities, communities or holy places.
