Soleanna Royal Guards

The Soleanna Royal Guards are a division of soldiers that patrol Soleanna. They are usually found in Castle Town watching for crime, guarding restricted areas and protecting the gate to New City from potential troublemakers. Their uniform is primarily dark green.

The Royal Guards play their largest role in Sonic's fifth Town Mission, titled "Who is the Captain?". During this mission, Sonic must ask the guards who the captain is in order to gain access to New City.

Members
There are fourteen guards waiting in the area during Sonic's Town Mission. However, only five of them can be interacted with, and therefore, only five of them have known names:

Pietro: As the captain of the Soleanna Royal Guards, Pietro is mainly responsible for guarding New City's gate. He stands next to the fountain and provides Sonic with his mission. At first, Pietro claims that he is only a lieutenant, so opening the gate to citizens is not his duty. However, at the end of the mission, Pietro reveals that he was lying - he is the captain - and allows Sonic to enter New City.

Fabio: This guard waits in the middle of the area, a short distance from the fountain, standing with an unnamed guard. Fabio is the second of the two guards who try to trick Sonic during his mission, as he falsely claims that Guido is the captain.

Guido: This guard can be found a distance from Fabio, between two anonymous guards in front of a bridge. Guido states that the captain is one of the soldiers who Sonic has already spoken to, which is right.

Giorgio: This guard stands among two other guards in front of the bridge nearest the fountain. Giorgio makes the correct claim that Alessio's words are true.

Alessio: This guard stands before the gate to New City with another unnamed guard. He says that the captain is in front of the fountain, which is correct, as Pietro is the only soldier there. Alessio is also the only member of the Soleanna Royal Guards who is involved in another town mission; he must be spoken to for Sonic's 13th mission, "Mels, the Soleanna Running Legend".
