The Horus Guards are among the most recognizable villains in the entire Stargate franchise, with their distinctive falcon-headed helmets and imposing Egyptian-style armor becoming iconic since they were first introduced in the original 1994 film.

They served Heru'ur, also known as "Horus the Elder," a ruthless System Lord and the son of Ra and Hathor who cosplayed as the ancient Egyptian deity of the same name before eventually getting outplayed and blown up by his uncle Apophis.
