Jaguar Guard

The Jaguar Guard was a mercenary company based in Tethyr.

History
The Jaguar Guard were composed of Jaguar Knights from Kultaka in Maztica. After the Golden Legion conquest, the leaders of Kultaka sent a group to Faerûn to learn more about this new continent. Encouraged by Gar Hollan, a Myratman merchant, they went to Tethyr to fight as mercenaries for the Council of Myratma.

After nearly the entire Council was assassinated by the Four in the rise to power of Yusuf Jhannivvar, more than half of the Guard were also slain. Their leader, Miquiztl Manik, had his warriors join the Loyalist Army of Zaranda Star.

After the end of the Reclamation Wars, the Jaguar Guard moved to garrisons around the ancient ruins of Shoonach and help defend Tethyr against that evil place.

Membership
All members were from the Kultakan elite order of Jaguar Knights.

Tactics
They usually used guerrilla tactics and, as a wild card, used their ability to change into jaguars. If they fought in a regular battle, they always offered opponents the option to be taken as prisoners.

Contracts
The Jaguar Guard had an exclusive contract with the Council of Myratma in 1358 DR. They charged 50 gold pieces per week for their services.
