- Equites is the Sword Guardian. In most of his appearances it takes on the form of a reptilian beast with a blade attached to his head, but in Wild Arms 5 Equites takes on the form of a self-confident sword-wielding warrior maiden. The name Equites comes from the word equites, which could refer to a calvary in military terms, or in historical terms a social order below the Senators, like Knights.
