tower guard
Elevated post sentry
A tower guard is a person stationed to watch from a tower—whether a prison guard tower, a medieval fortification, or a lifeguard tower at a beach.
The elevated position allows surveillance of a large area.
In gaming, tower guards are often NPCs that defend structures or checkpoints: The tower guard spotted us before we could sneak past.
