Among its many historical distinctions, the Life Guard was the only permanent unit of the Royal Army to follow [[King Patrick III|Patrick, Prince of Halfway]] into exile prior to his restoration during the [[Red Interregnum]]. This display of loyalty to [[House de Weluta]] earned the Life Guard the popular nickname ''The Reliables''. Despite their position large as a household guard, the Life Guard saw notable service during both the Interregnum and the [[Second Caroline War]]. | Among its many historical distinctions, the Life Guard was the only permanent unit of the Royal Army to follow [[King Patrick III|Patrick, Prince of Halfway]] into exile prior to his restoration during the [[Red Interregnum]].
