their lives. The Blood Guard's symbol is the Rowan Tree that grows on the Isle of the Blessed. Morgana and Morgause, when they conquered Camelot, made this symbol their crest. Only the Blood Guards, being the most loyal servants of the High Priestesses, had had the privilege of setting their eyes on the Rowan Staff, carved from the Rowan Tree.

Uther, during the Great Purge, hunted almost all of them down and killed them. By the beginning of Series 3, they were thought to have been wiped out completely. However, some of them had survived and continued to serve the High Priestesses, Morgause andMorgana among them. When Morgana joined Morgause, she used a blade marked with the sigil of the Blood Guard to wound a guard in Camelot. Gaius knew of the Blood Guard and the mark, so he warned Arthur that probably there was a traitor in Camelot. Two Blood Guards followed Morgause to Cenred's castle and where ready to protect her when she attacked one of Cenred's guards. They also captured Merlin when he was found listening to Morgana and Morgause's conversation in the Darkling woods (The Tears of Uther Pendragon).

It's possible that Alator of the Catha was a member of the Blood Guard, being a warrior and a High Priest of the Old Religion (The Secret Sharer).
