Information About

Horus Guard




The Horus Guard were a group of warriors that protected the family of Ra in the Stargate universe. Their helmets looked like the head of birds and consisted of metal plates that could be folded back into the collar of the uniform.

They first appear in the movie Stargate and are defeated by the team from Earth. Later, in the TV show continuation, Stargate SG-1 , they appear under the service of Heru-ur and Hathor in episodes such as "Thor's Chariot" .

Since they are without symbiote pouches in the movie Stargate , questions have arisen as to whether or not they are Jaffa. Although the film provides no explanation, since the concept of Jaffa was not introduced until later, the Horus Guards that appear in Stargate SG-1 are without a doubt Jaffa.
