The King's Guard is an elite guard for the king of Alethkar.[1] They are a division of the Cobalt Guard of the Kholin princedom.[citation needed]
Pre-Tower
Prior to the Battle of the Tower, the King's Guard was composed of lighteyes loyal to the Kholin family. Dalinar Kholin administered the guard and was directly in charge of securing the king's safety. He ensured that the members of the King's Guard were very loyal to him.[citation needed]
Post-Tower
After the betrayal by Torol Sadeas, Dalinar's officers were decimated. The two hundred and fifty soldiers left in the guard were needed in his army as officers, so as Bridge Four proved themselves both loyal and capable, they were merged with the King's Guard. Dalinar eventually gave stewardship of the guard over to Bridge Four and reassigned the original members of the King's Guard to fill other positions that Sadeas's betrayal created in the structure of the Kholin army.[2]
Post Battle of Narak
After the Battle of Narak, Bridge Four along with the Kholin army took up residence in Urithiru. Having discovered that Bridge Four were now all Windrunner squires, Dalinar released them from duty. Dalinar most likely reassigned new members to the King's Guard at this time; however, those positions were likely temporary since Elhokar soon traveled with Kaladin to Kholinar.[citation needed]
Current Status
The King's Guard is presumed to be dissolved, but possibly reformed into a Queen's Guard following Jasnah taking the throne of Alethkar.[citation needed]
