So basically,[@Lucius Cypher], you are saying that the gold Knights have the ability to create their own misaka network? That's pretty cool.

Essentially. The Golden Guardian's role is to provide an omnipresence source of warriors on behalf of the Imperium: For those working for the Librarian you'll often face the Golden Guardian and their soldiers more often then not. And despite their numerous members, each Ragnar isn't a pushover. They're minibosses in their own right, and an outright boss fight if more than two are together, since they'll quickly just begin to create more of themselves and drown you in a ocean of elite, holy armored bodies. 

Gives a bit of an incentive to fight smarter, not harder.
