Armed and armored, he looked a bit like a Roman soldier of old. But his weapons and armor were fashioned for a different Battle than those the ancient Romans fought, since his enemies were not mortal.
His sword, and the weapons of his fellow soldiers, were among the most potent weapons ever formed ... at least when used as guided by the Commander. It was necessary for it to be so. Otherwise, a thoughtless swing could have leveled mountains.
His armor was proof against the strongest attacks of the Enemy, as long as he used it properly. The Twins, at the behest of the Commander, blocked some of the attacks aimed at the Warrior. Others, he was able to block himself. Some of those that were allowed past by the Twins got past his defenses, but with muted force. This was in accordance with the will of the Commander, so that the Warrior's skills in Battle would continue to improve. The only times he was severely injured was when he foolishly removed or neglected some piece of his armor. Yet, even then, the Twins prevented him from being killed.
As strong as were the Warrior's weapons and armor, those of the Twins were even more so. And even stronger still, the Presence was even more powerfully armed and armored. His weapons could shatter the universe. Enemy blows that He intercepted came to nothing, with the very weapon of the attack disappearing, as if it had never been.
