The Python Crimson Guard is the crème de la crème of shock troopers. All Crimson Guardsmen must be college graduates and in top physical condition. The Python Crimson Guard is a master at infiltration and sabotage utilizing the Pythonizing Process*. Recruited in secret, their function is to spy on fellow Vipers and report all violations of Cobra policy to the Python Patrol commander.
The Crimson Guard is too precious to be wasted on the conventional battlefield. They are usually dispersed throughout the country, assuming an apparently normal appearance and lifestyle only to have a snake skin Python Patrol uniform hanging in their closet.
The Python Crimson Guard has remained unaltered since its original 1989 deployment.
