Order of the Guardians

The Order of the Guardians is a group of Trill who care for the Trill symbionts in the Caves of Mak'ala. They rarely leave the Caves and have a reputation of being odd. 

In 2371, Jadzia Dax, Benjamin Sisko and Julian Bashir consulted the Guardian Timor for information on hallucinations Jadzia had been having. 

The Guardians preside over the zhian'tara ceremony, transferring the memories and personality of past hosts into the bodies of participants. 

Ranul Keru was once a member.
