EPOCH[]
EPOCH is the protagonist of both EPOCH and EPOCH 2. EPOCH is an Guardian model robot, constructed by Alphetekk with the purpose of protecting a member of the royal family, Princess Amelia. In both games you control EPOCH, who is tasked with finding Princess Amelia.
EPOCH has many weapons including, but not limited to grenades, missiles, machine guns, and Laser guns. He is the last Guardian robot not mixed up in a world-devastating war between Alphetekk robots and Omegatronics robots, the war that ravaged both robots and humans simultaneously. Though EPOCH is one of the only free robots, his dedication to Princess Amelia is so strong that he feels compelled to find her and follow her orders. Not because he's programmed to, but because he wants to. This is in sharp contrast to PROTEUS, who selfishly works to keep freedom for himself and EPOCH, and displays disdain, even hatred toward Humans. EPOCH is perhaps the smartest and deadliest Guardian apart from PROTEUS who gives EPOCH a run for his money. For an example, EPOCH has single handedly defeated multiple O.G.R.Es in both games, a model of robot specifically designed to kill Guardians.

Epoch[]
In the 1st game, EPOCH wakes up in the middle of a warzone with his mission to find and protect the Princess at all cost.
Epoch 2[]
After defeating the first O.R.G.E., EPOCH hitched ride on a passing train and finally find the princess. He would then search for the power cores to revive her from cyropod sleep. In the end, she lied to him as she uses the hard power feed to free the robots under the Big Two. EPOCH attempts to find more but is forced to let her go. In the aftermath of the 2nd game, he likely will become the leader of a resistance group to overthrow The IG TWO.
