The Third Guard was an Elite Praetorian Guard who served as a personal guard of Supreme Leader Snoke, leader of the First Order. While serving the Supreme Leader, the Third Guard used a Bilari electro-chain whip. The guard was killed on board the Supremacy when Kylo Ren, Snoke's apprentice, betrayed the Supreme Leader with the help of Rey, another Force-sensitive individual. Together they defeated and killed all of the Elite Praetorian Guards in the throne room.[2]

Biography

The Third Guard was a member of the Elite Praetorian Guard—crimson warriors who served as the personal bodyguards of Supreme Leader Snoke of the First Order.[4] The Third Guard was stationed in Snoke's throne room with a bilari electro-chain whip along with the other Praetorian Guards at the time of Kylo Ren's audience with the Supreme Leader[2] in 34 ABY.[1] Angered by Snoke's disapproving appraisal of his defeat on Starkiller Base,[5] the Master of the Knights of Ren took a step in his master's direction, causing the Third Guard and their fellow guards to snap into a combat stance against the dark apprentice as Snoke electrocutes him with force lightning.[6]

The Third Guard was still present in the throne room when Ren returned with the Jedi learner Rey as his prisoner. However, instead of executing the former scavenger as Snoke ordered, Ren chose to assassinate his master—resulting in a confrontation between the two Force-sensitives and the Praetorian Guards. Like the other Praetorians, the Third Guard attempted to avenge the slain Supreme Leader,[6] engaging the traitorous apprentice and Rey. After the death of one of their fellow guards, one of the guards with a chain-whip entangled Rey's lightsaber with their chain whip and pulled her towards them, after which they grabbed her from the throat to pierce it with the sharp edge of his weapon. But Rey broke free from the weapon and fatally cut the guard from their groin to the back. The remaining Praetorians were soon killed also, including the other guard wielding a chain-whip who was decapitated by Ren.[2]
