Role, availability & values
Scout the reward and identify this guardian before sending an Explorer to collect it. Ranged resistance reduces the value of relying on ranged fire alone, so bring appropriate support and avoid letting the Explorer remain under repeated hand attacks. Defeat the guardian first, then move an eligible hero onto the Treasure once the area is clear.

A fast Treasure guardian, not a trainable swordsman
The Colonial Swashbuckler appears as a Treasure guardian in The African Royals. It has 270 hit points, 30% ranged resistance, speed 7.0 and line of sight 12. Its hand attack deals 12 damage every second; the siege attack deals 24 damage at range six every three seconds. These values belong to the neutral camp profile and do not describe a Barracks or mercenary unit available for production.
Protect the hero while removing the guardian
Its speed lets it close on a Treasure-seeking Explorer quickly, while ranged resistance reduces the effectiveness of ordinary ranged fire. Engage it with enough support to keep the Explorer from taking repeated hand attacks, then verify that the rest of the Treasure camp is clear before collecting. The siege attack can also threaten nearby structures, so do not drag the guardian through an exposed base.
