* In ''Series/DoctorWho'', traditionally the Time Lords fulfilled this niche, only interfering if something would seriously threaten the timelines. The Doctor was considered a criminal for his desire to interfere with the other civilizations. Of course they started to experience some serious MotiveDecay during the Last Great Time War.
* The Watchers from ''Series/{{Highlander}}: The Series'' observe the Immortals but do not interfere.
** Except for Horton's splinter group, who decide to kill them all rather than risk letting any of them get the Prize.
* The Sword of Logos in ''Series/KamenRiderSaber'' is a guild of swordsmen founded 2000 years ago for the purpose of protecting the pages of the [[AkashicRecords Almighty Book]] from a group of evil monsters known as the Megid. Beyond that, they don't interfere in the affairs of regular humans and keep their existence a secret from all outside the guild.
