Immortals
Ancient royal guard
Members of the Académie française, the French institution that oversees the French language, are called the Immortals—a title reflecting the Academy's perpetual existence rather than any claim about the members themselves.
The term also refers to the elite Persian military force of antiquity. (Lowercase immortals refers more broadly to beings that cannot die.)
