The Guardians of the Notre Dame catacombs are Forged who were patterned after the likeness of a Marut, golems of legend who were tasked with bringing a fitting end to those mortals who try to cheat death and live forever. According to legend, the Marut would never stop until it had restored the cosmic order by annihilating its target; The Guardians attempt to live up to this legacy in their own lives.
