Iron Guard

=Jihan Nyhn= Jihan Nyhn is a powerful arms smuggler not much is known about, as he mostly functions as a background story for the Iron Guard team in UT. He was known to be a supporter of guerillas fighting NEG oppression on other planets. Because of his line of work, he hired a team of personal bodyguard. This didn't prevent an unknown assassin to kill Nyhn somewhere before 2293, the year of UT.

After Nyhn's assassination, his team of bodyguards was left without a job. To vent their aggression they joined the Liandri Grand Tournament as the "Iron Guard". Lauren, said to be Jihan Nyhn's lover at the time, suspected the Liandri Mining Corporation to be behind his death. She joins the Iron Guard to fight in the Liandri sponsored Tournament, hoping to come close enough to uncover the truth.

By 2302, the year of UT2003, it becomes known Lauren was in fact involved with Brock since high school, suggesting the rumor of her relationship with Nyhn was incorrect. By this time Nyhn seems all but forgotten, and exactly how he was assassinated, and by whom, remains unclear.


 * Trivia: jihan is the code that unlocks Ariel in UT3. See this for details.

In the Unreal Tournament 3 campaign, Iron Guard defend the areas belonging to the Axon Research Corporation on Taryd. As no affiliations have been previously known with the Axon corporation, the team, being formed mainly of mercenaries, was probably paid to help Axon.
