I'm sending two of my best guards to personally escort you. Make sure General Ironwood hears that part.
Cordovin, talking about the Nubuck Guards

The Nubuck Guards are two Atlesian soldiers stationed at the Atlesian Military Base in Argus under Caroline Cordovin. They made their first appearance in "Dead End".

Overview[]

Nubuck Guards One and Two are Atlesian Military personnel assigned to the Atlesian Military Base in Argus. They work under Caroline Cordovin, who considers them "two of her best guards" and are usually seen right behind her as her personal guards.

Appearance[]

Identical in appearance, Nubuck Guards are tall and broad-shouldered. Their uniforms include caps with two visors, pulled down so as to cover their eyes. They commonly either speak in unison or completing each other's sentences.

Personality[]

Their behavior is over the top, such as their march or the way they praise their commanding officer, Caroline Cordovin. They are very devoted to their military as seen when they corrected Qrow when he didn't call James Ironwood by his title "General". They try to be as helpful and supportive as they can, as seen how they support Caroline and are very eager to assist where they can, like when they carried Weiss' luggage or how they tried to calm down Adrian by performing weird poses to amuse him.

Trivia[]
