 * These are supposed to be good guys?!

 * Cell Leader for the radical eco-terrorist organization Green Fury

Attackers from beyond space and time or arising from beneath the lands and oceans have engulfed the world in catastrophic conflict. In the face of these disasters, the nations of Earth have put aside their historical differences and banded together to combat these man threats through the creation of a multi-national security force known as G.U.A.R.D. (Globally United Advanced Research & Defense). G.U.A.R.D. has assembled the greatest scientific minds and most accomplished military leaders from over a dozen countries to take on the most cosmic invaders and underworld conquerors with the most technologically capable armed force the world has ever seen. Equipped with massive mechs, cutting edge air support, unparalleled ground support, and a dozen high tech installations around the globe and in orbit, G.U.A.R.D. can deploy anywhere on Earth within minutes and go tow-to-toe with aggressors from any corner of the universe and beyond.

Though members of the United Earth Treaty often criticize G.U.A.R.D. for causing as much destruction as they prevent with their "cowboy" attitude, most people accept G.U.A.R.D. as integral to Earth's defense despite the cost. After one particularly devastating alien invasion of London, the Prime Minister of England attempted to bill G.U.A.R.D. for damages caused to many historical monuments by G.U.A.R.D. forces. A day later, the Prime Minister received a bill from G.U.A.R.D. Chief Executive General Norman for the costs of the battle: three years worth of ordnance expenditure, vehicle maintenance and repair, and man hours (including overtime and danger-pay). This simple act put matters into perspective for most world leaders and none have questioned G.U.A.R.D.'s value since.
