Oh, his experimention on the slaves would have nothing to do with testing their loyalty, they'd just be chosen at random and brutally assaulted for the Khan's goals. Unless slavery was different for the Mongols than how I imagine it, they're just indispensible fodder for him.

I don't know whether they'd be the first Guardian though. According to Kosan, Warehouse agents have never witnessed the transferal of the shackle from one Guardian to another, and I assumed it had always been worn by and transfered between Regents. But, since it can't be removed (and transfered) without its key, I suppose it could be possible, but at some point it would have had to go to and remain with the Regents indefinitely.

That's assuming, of course, the shackle wasn't immediately transferred to a Regent once it was created. If it were, the slave would likely be granted freedom at best, disposed of at worst, or returned to their slave status with whatever injuries they've sustained and carry on as normal.
