Selforge Citizen Essence is animated by the soul that merged with it, Selforge Soldier Essence is animated by a built-in military program, they have no sense of self and can be compared to a militarized "Selforge Elemental" created to fight wherever needed, in the manner of the golems of old except with tremendous capabilities and tactical acumen.

Because they have no self and literally live to serve, they are the perfect soldiers and operators, utterly incorruptible no matter how much power they wield or how much blood they spill, and relentlessly dedicated to their missions no matter what is asked of them or how long it takes. On many levels, Soldiers are perfectly suited to their utilitarian purpose.

As mentioned in the last paragraph of the titular section, the primary purpose of Soldiers is to protect the peace and happiness of Lawrence's extralanar children, since their native planes are beyond Selforge borders and thus not quite as benevolent as Selforge City and the Legacy Heaven. They do so from the shadows, preemptively neutralizing such threats without his children even learning of their existence like unstoppable guardian angels, so they and their close ones may enjoy the carefree childhood and happy life their deserve.
