Nothing very CG about them in my opinion, since they are not Lawyers or Accountants. Still I imagine they should be commanded by CG's? They say they are loyal to the Baroness and the Twins even over Cobra Commander. But then all CG's are loyal to CC and I figure the Twins would be surrounded by CGs as well.
The Crimson Vipers aren't CGs yet. They are just potential candidates. After they obtain degrees in law, accounting or similar fields, and after they pass the rigorous physical training, then they may be considered for the Guard. In my verse, all CGs were once Vipers. Once a Viper achieves CG status, he is promoted to the rank of lieutenant and is authorized to wear the CG uniform with a black Cobra sigil.
New CGs work as executive body guards while undergoing additional schooling and language development. They must learn a second language and develop the skills required to infiltrate and take over various civil organizations, government offices and private corporations around the world. They also command platoons of Crimson Vipers, which are essentially Military Police.
Once promoted to captain, CGs are transfered to a particular region where they work "out of uniform" and under the close tutelage of a Squad Leader who is at least a LTC and holds a senior management position of some kind in a corporate or government agency. Squad Leaders are authorized to wear the silver sigil.
There is also a Captain of the Guard, who is ranked a captain and is the commanding officer of the Crimson Guardsmen who have not been promoted to captain nor entered the civilian world.
If a CG obtains a chief executive position--CFO, CMO, COO, CIO, CLO, CCO--or becomes head of a governmental department--Secrectary of Defense, Secretary of Treasury, Secretary of State, etc--he becomes a CG Commander and is promoted to Lieutenant General.
The Twins are CEOs and thus full generals, as well as the Supreme Generals of the Guard.
The CG Immortals are perhaps similiar to the ancient Immortal Guards of Byzantine and Persia--elite Imperial Guards who are also a part of important external agencies that don't grant them general ranks but do entitle them to an "immortal" status or permament tenure in the CG communitiy.
The Shadow CG handles the "dirty" subversive work of actual sabotage (not just financial), demolitions, kidnapping and other detainment.
