Beatrix Schwire (Arknights)

From the outside, Beatrix Schwire appears merely as a Feline socialite who comes from the Schwire Group, a high-profile conglomerate family known for their business ventures in both Lungmen and Victoria. But nobody would expect the filthy rich lady actually serves as a Lungmen Guard Department operative. In fact, her motivation is because the heroic L.G.D. once saved her after being kidnapped! While she often works alongside Ch'en and Hoshiguma under the codename "Swire," she also holds grudges against her Lung senior because she cannot stand her harsh attitude. Nevertheless, Swire has proven herself a competent combatant, utilizing a spiked flail and operating a remote-controlled drone to broadcast orders from afar. Having since become the new Superintendent of the L.G.D., "Missy" will bravely lead her forces to track down any wanted criminals.

The Lungmen Guard Department (L.G.D.) is an organization in the world of Arknights. As the name suggests, it serves as both a law enforcement agency and an armed force of Lungmen, and is responsible for maintaining Lungmen's peace.

The L.G.D. was founded by Wei Yenwu around more than twenty years ago in response to his intention to clean up the city, especially after the city's devastation by the Ursus infiltrators led by the Duke of Kashchey. While publically appearing to be a defense and security agency, internally, the L.G.D also acts as Wei's political tool to run Lungmen. The L.G.D. is able to maintain its vitality, justice, and might thanks to its strict rules of selection as well as its ancient traditions from Yan. As a matter of fact, the L.G.D. is fearfully respected by both the ordinary citizens and the underground world of Lungmen.

Before its official formation, a secret special ops team that would later become the core of the L.G.D. conducted a grand rescue mission on a young Beatrix Schwire who was kidnapped by Wei's political enemy. The criminal's intention was to use the kidnapping to humiliate Wei politically. Luckily, the rescue operation was a success with the aid of Mr. Adams Schwire, and the criminals involved were executed on the spot. Even prior to the successful operation, many tabloids and novels had been written about this special ops team prior to the case. To this day, the police officers of Lungmen are proud of how that case was handled.

Following the rescue of Beatrix Schwire, the formation of the Special Inspection Unit, a special department led by the best policemen of the L.G.D. to conduct dangerous missions, occured. The Unit is led by the L.G.D.'s Superintendent who serves the office for a term of two years.

Lungmen is an autonomous region of Yan, located between Kazdel and Ursus. A prosperous, advanced nomadic city, it is governed by the Yan imperial family member Wei Yenwu and acts as a "special economic zone" with greater autonomy such as a largely independent government and economy, making it more progressive and open to foreign influences than Yan. Lungmen's prosperity and economic prowess is shown by their currency, Lungmen dollar (LMD), which is widely used in international transactions across Terra. In adition, Lungmen is also the youngest administrative district within Yan —under the administrative code 0019.

Lungmen's urban planning is based surrounding the Central Business District (CBD) located on the city's downtown area, above the artificial river that spans across the city. A series of expressways encircling the downtown area connect various nodes within Lungmen. On the other hand, Lungmen's treatment towards the Infected is known to be harsh, though not to the same degree as the neighboring Ursus; prior to Reunion's invasion, the majority of the Infected Lungmenites were confined into slums where they live in lower standards than the rest of the Lungmenites. The situation has improved since with the slums now developed and integrated to Lungmen's downtown.
