In Champions: Eye of the beholder - Cephafro "had been the lone Guardian for some time."[1] He had a partner who was a gatekeeper named Lissa, who "had been assassinated by the servants of Maiax during the Night of the 7622."[1] For Cephafro, it is an honor to be guarding the "gate between dimensions. The Guardians are entrusted with the sacred duty of keeping it safe.”[1] Cephafro failed his task and his "brothers were decimated"[1] during a great battle. He is only one of the remaining few vigilants as many of his brothers died in that battle. That incident now gets Cephafro to "attend the Gate, to make sure it shall never happen again."[1] It is his soul’s only remaining purpose.
Champions: No Sacrifice Too Great… Part Two - Cephafro and his fellow guardian Paxa encounter Giotto and Vitus as Giotto had come to "face the Trials of Atonement." [2]Cephafro quickly realises that there are "members of The Shadow"[2] giving chase. Cephafro and Paxa faced their adversaries head on and "the might of the Guardians was on full display here as their movements were akin to that of a great conductor, calling forth a fiery symphony of destruction."[2] After the guardians defeated their foe, Cephafro could sense "something about the Emperor’s companion. He is not entirely what he seems."[2] He is not sure whether for good or ill.
