Il Guardiano segue ovviamente il codice dei paladini di Iomedae, che è il seguente:
The paladins of Iomedae are just and strong, crusaders who live for the joy of righteous battle. Their mission is to right wrongs and eliminate evil at its root. They serve as examples to others, and their code demands they protect the weak and innocent by eliminating sources of oppression, rather than merely the symptoms. They may back down or withdraw from a fight if they are overmatched, but if their lives will buy time for others to escape, they must give them. Their tenets include the following affirmations.
I will learn the weight of my sword. Without my heart to guide it, it is worthless—my strength is not in my sword, but in my heart. If I lose my sword, I have lost a tool. If I betray my heart, I have died.
I will have faith in the Inheritor. I will channel her strength through my body. I will shine in her legion, and I will not tarnish her glory through base actions.
I am the first into battle, and the last to leave it.
I will not be taken prisoner by my free will. I will not surrender those under my command.
I will never abandon a companion, though I will honor sacrifice freely given.
I will guard the honor of my fellows, both in thought and deed, and I will have faith in them.
When in doubt, I may force my enemies to surrender, but I am responsible for their lives.
I will never refuse a challenge from an equal. I will give honor to worthy enemies, and contempt to the rest.
I will suffer death before dishonor.
I will be temperate in my actions and moderate in my behavior. I will strive to emulate Iomedae’s perfection.
Aggiungo che il Guardiano è una persona silenziosa e riflessiva, che preferisce ascoltare e riflettere lungamente prima di prendere una decisione, e che non si fa guidare dall'impulso. Rispetto ai normali paladini di Iomedae preferisce offrire misericordia e una possibilità di redenzione piuttosto che una rapida giustizia, ma in caso non veda possibilità o percepisca un inganno nelle parole del malvagio non si tira indietro dal punire come è giusto e onorevole.
