Seirōkishi ("Serene Knight") are the "best of the best" in the Consortium military. Numbering only ninety-eight members (a hundred were originally created), their ranks cannot be augmented, due to their special circumstances.

While Seirōkishi come in all sorts of descriptions, this might be a general look:

The Seirōkishi Initiative was designed to take willing children (With Aetanii lifespans numbering in the aeons, "children" is a loose term) and augment their fighting capabilities in every way.

Enhanced through Consortium biocybernetics, a field they specialize in despite their views on mechanical augmentation, Seirōkishi are more than capable of turning the tide of any battle. With no training, they eclipse Consortium Arcanii, who by themselves match any nation's elites: with even rudimentary training, they become nigh unstoppable.

Augmented to have corrected vision, they can see clearly for ranges of several miles (which Aetanii cannot normally do without the aid of glasses or other optical enhancements), and their balance and nerves make them perfect for lone assaults. Some even have the strength and resistance to punch through three-inch-thick steel without drawing blood.

Their senses of pain are dulled, but not negated: they can still feel, and therefore will take the necessary thought to avoid traps that others might walk straight into. The Consortium-unique biocybernetic modification they underwent was accomplished through using artificial viruses to rewrite their molecular and DNA structures, so they cannot be poisoned either, and their already-fast reaction times (a normal Aetanii can react in .07 seconds) are boosted to the level of a Consortium Reasoner, making them capable of reacting in a thousand of a second.

Their primary weapons are usually lightsabers, after the manner of most Consortium troops, though they are proficient with almost every Aetanii weapon. Unlike most Aetanii lightsabers, however, their weapons tend to be scuffed and worn metal constructions with perhaps a bit of leather wrapped around it, rather than the elegant construction of most Consortium blades. This is due to simple choice: one remembers an extravagantly engraved wood-and-chrome hilt more easily than a rod of dull-colored metal.

Due to their remarkable abilities, most Seirōkishi are used as intelligence operatives. As Aetanii can pass for human (while humans cannot pass for Aetanii), it makes them able to easily slip through crowded streets and jammed pathways. This makes them especially useful for surveillance and reconnaissance.
