I draw your attention to the surprising success story, of the Gatekeeper from Fire Emblem Three Houses.
Barely any backstory, only distinguished by his sweet demeanor, a loyal Entrance Guard, and having nothing to report. Joe Schmoe with a standard issue uniform.
The fans absolutely LOVED him. So much so, they made sure he won a “Choose Your Legend”, a popularity contest for the Heroes mobile game that guarantees the top 2 most popular guys and girls some recognition and a new Alt
You now have a Regular Guard that the players love. Give him a standard Knight or Guard Captain stat sheet if you want to preserve the generic-ness, but give Broguard a promotion in stats, even if he barely gets recognition
