The Kingdom Guard (王国隊, sekai daihyō, lit. World Squad) is a division of the 13 Court Guard Squads, commanded by Nathaniel DreadBane.
Creation
Following the Winter War, the Spirit King expresses his intrigue by Nathaniel's endeavours, especially in the fact that he can wield a Keyblade. Weeks later, the King sends two representatives to Soul Society, and offers Nathaniel a choice; remain with Squad Five, or start a new Division; one permitted to leave Soul Society and visit other Worlds. Willingly, Nathaniel agrees, and begins to look for aspiring Soul Reapers interested in leaving the confines of Soul Society.
Notable Members
Insignia
The Insignia for the Kingdom Guard is the symbol found on Terra, Aqua, Ventus and Master Eraqus' clothing. The meaning behing the symbol is "strength in the heart".
Special Duties
This Division is essentially a squad of Keybladers. The Guard carries out regular trips to the outer worlds to eradicate Heartless and collect hearts. The division is permitted to leave Soul Society in its entirety, but the Captain and Lieutenant are to be present for the monthly Captain's meeting to deliver their reports.
The Guard often works with Squad Thirteen in hollow exorcism in the World of the Living.
Requirements
The main requirement to join the Guard is a strong heart; Nathaniel often takes trips to the Soul Reaper Academy to visit classes close to graduating and tests a select number of students in terms of their hearts. Those with strong hearts are granted spots on the squad and a standard Court Guard Keyblade. If the Soul Reaper is strong in both heart and soul, they originally acquire a personal Keyblade. In terms of spiritual strength, a joining Soul Reaper must be at least the level of a Fourth Seat.
Headquarters
Aside from the Division base in Soul Society, the Guard holds headquarters in the Land of Departure.
