It is not known exactly when this group of apes formed but the only thing that is known is they were entrusted by their King Caesar with the sole purpose of guarding the entrance to the Ape Village from any dangerous intruder or predator that dares stray into their territory. The gorillas lived within huts near the Ape Gate and for the past decade, they have been successful in fending off invasion being seen as the village protectors by the other apes. At some point, the Gorilla Guardians were placed under the leadership of the Ape Army's new Fourth-in-Command and Caesar's good friend Luca.
