Trivia

The clan name comes from the word 'sentinel', which means guardian. Coincidentally, the robots from Marvel Comics, who are instructed to keep law and order by destroying any mutants they encounter, are called Sentinels.
The Sentinel's finishing animation has two long tasers appearing from the screen and sticking on the opponent's card, shocking it, until it is destroyed.
The webcomics did have a series dedicated to the clan, called Sentinel Stories.
They are tied with the Roots for having the most Cr cards, with both clans having six each.
Their colors are navy blue and gold, which are standard colors for cops.
They are the first clan to have more than one Legendary card.
Their symbol is a golden star badge, a tool often used by cops or law keepers to identify themselves during their investigations.
- The badge also shows, in some police departments, the rank of different cops.
The clan's secondary bio reads "Strong and stable, our police force are all set to protect the citizens against any threat. Attacking and defending with solid abilities and excellent stats has never been so easy. But with our relative lack of damage, you’d better shoot a few times!"
In Matheo's bio it is stated that even if you are related to a higher ranking officer, there is no advantage for that relative. The character still has to do police academy and examined as an officer.
