They're his before anyone else's, despite Queen's attempts to suborn some of them. Now that I think about it, if I were a paranoid egomaniac, I'd keep the one thing I was vulnerable to underneath a dorm full of fighters I could take control of at any time and a guardian god loyal to me. Unfortunately, it's not a bad strategy -- even if we can suborn the rest of the loyalists or use one of the ones we've got free already, Guardian's a problem we're going to need to deal with.
