Bodyguard
A Bodyguard is an elite royal guard, dedicated to the personal protection of a House Leader, House Heir, Regent, or Seneschal. It is their job to protect their leader from threats to their person, particularly against the Undead Horde.
Qualifications
Royal Bodyguards have spanned a broad range of skillsets, but in general, they tend to have combat or security training, or both. Occasionally, they are selected for their training in intelligence gathering, cybersecurity, or other similar skills. They must be Literomancers. They must also volunteer, by mutual treaty of the Great Houses.
Requirements
A Bodyguard must be demonstrably loyal to the House and/or House Leader they serve.
*There are only FIVE Bodyguards allowed for any given House at any time, by mutual treaty of the Great Houses.
Appointment
A Bodyguard's authority is granted directly by a House Leader. Even if they wish to serve as a protector of another significant House member, it is the House Leader who makes the appointment and decision.
