The Guardians work under the auspices of the Symbiosis Commission. They serve the symbionts by maintaining the underground pools that nurture them, such as those in the Caves of Mak'ala on Trill. Timor was a Trill Guardian in the 2370s. (DS9: "Equilibrium")
The Guardians also serve the well-being of the symbionts after they are joined, and help the new host adjust to preserve that well-being.
During the Zhian'tara, the Guardians telepathically transfer the memories of former hosts to volunteer bodies.
Lela Dax found the Guardians to be "odd fellows". (DS9: "Facets")
- The unnamed Guardian in "Facets" was played by Jeffrey Alan Chandler.
