The engum - or loci guardians - help the Pure protect a locus even while away. This arrangement grants a pack a certain advantage: the packmemebers can leave the locus alone and in the hands of the spirit. The spirit will then defend the area from any enemy incursions, whether from Forsaken, Hosts, Ridden or other spirits. In this way, the engum is like a secondary totem for a Pure pack.
Most engum are servants of the pack's extant totem. If not a direct servant of the totem, the engum is likely an ancillary spirit of the totem's choir, or is instead some entity enslaved to the totem or bound to it via some manner of chiminage.
The locus guardian does not work for free. It is allowed to sup from the fount of Essence, provided that the engum is capable of some modicum of restraint. A spirit that drains a locus when the Pure need it will meet with swift vengeance, potentially from their true totem.
