Devil Guard is a city located in a hidden valley in the mountains of Sosaria. It appears during.

Description
Devil Guard was a remote settlement reachable only by a moongate when Felucca was in its first quarter. Despite its hard-to-reach location, the city still did a modest amount of business with travelers and food,  drink and  healing could all be procured by those with sufficient  gold. Devil Guard also housed a branch of the guild and had a shop catering to those in need of exotic and hard to find equipment.

Several inhabitants of Devil Guard knew much of the magical Marks which explorers could receive in the dungeons. It was here that the Stranger could discover that these four mystic brands could be attained by touching hot metal and that each had a different use. In particular, they would overhear tales of a Mark of Kings – useful in gaining the favor of Lord British – and the Mark of the Snake, which could help them to pass onto the isle guarded by the Great Earth Serpent.

Trivia

It seems likely that this individual lent his name to the adventurer who explored Devil Guard in Secrets of Sosaria.
