The Blackguard is a military force that is attempting to take over the islands of the Archipelago and illegally enslave its inhabitants. The player was sent to the Archipelago to stop the Blackguard from taking control of it.
It is unknown how the Blackguard takes over free villages because their army cannot be seen in action.
Lt. Hammerman has 10 bases scattered across the map and these bases are known as Hammerman's HQ. They seem to be his command centres overseeing his conquest.
These bases are not limited in the types and number of defenses they may have like players' bases are.
There are also unique weapons which are used in these bases various times.
Appearance
He has black/brown hair, a square nose, cubic ears, a scarred left eye and always frowns.

He wears a Black uniform with red pauldrons and the insignia of a Navy Lieutenant.
His belt, cap and above his top left pocket have what appears to be the Blackguard symbol.

Trivia
It seems Lt. Hammerman is obsessed with Statues and Power Stones because of their mystical powers.
However, the only Statue he ever uses on one of his bases is a LifeStatue on his level 35 base.
This might be since he seems to be more interested in smashing the statues to get the Power Stones in them (as seen in his quote when his level 35 base is discovered)
Lt. Hammerman's bases drop 5 Victory Pointswhen destroyed. The amount never changes.
Un-discovered Hammerman bases are covered in clouds. Tapping will say, 'Suspicious activity reported in this region!'
After you defeat one of his bases, various freed villages around your Archipelago will put on a fireworks show. Normally when you reclaim a village, only the village that you freed will shoot fireworks.
It seems that Lt. Hammerman is in need of a promotion, considering that he appears to be the lower ranked one of the two Blackguard officers in the game (lower than Colonel Gearheart; Dr. T doesn't appear to carry a military rank). He does, however, refer to the High Command that he will have to report to after the player destroys his level 60 base.
Despite being a higher level, Lt. Hammerman's Levels 55 and 60 bases give less loot than his Level 50 one.
Although the quote after the player destroys his level 60 base refers to the Hammerman Strikes Back event, it is available at HQ level 20, whereas the event itself only requires a Weapon Lab, unlocked at HQ level 15.
Although Lt. Hammerman's Headquarters appears to have machine gun slits, they do not ever attack troops.
Only Hammeran HQ 45 and HQ 60 (2) has .

There's an achievement which is called Payback that gives a total of 175 diamonds upon destroying all of his ten bases on the Archipelago.
