Bodyguard

The Secret Service has a plaque in their main hall that commemorates its greatest agents and their efforts; but one man isn't on that list. The Bodyguard is the premiere specialist in protection and his years of service have gone unawarded at his request. He is a modest and humble person that regularly steps into harms way for those he his tasked to protect; after which he escapes into the shadows before anyone can thank him. Armed with a bulletproof vest and a handgun, the Bodyguard will protect his charge and kill the attacker; or die trying.

Strategy
The bodyguard serves as a Town Protective role in Town of Salem. Unlike most other roles, the bodyguard can break night immunity when someone attacks the person you guard at night. With this in mind, a bodyguard can be critical in taking down a Serial Killer, Godfather, or Arsonist.

Many times, the bodyguard will die early-game, usually taking down a Mafia member or Serial Killer with it. To use the bodyguard most effectively, you should wait a turn to see who else plays a key good role, and guard them. Most likely, a mafia member or serial killer will try to attack that member during the night. While you will die in the process, you will eliminate a key mafia member or Serial Killer from play.

One of the best, if not the best, role for the Town to have is the bodygaurd. He's like a Doctor mixed with a Veteran. Make the best choices can be a force the Mafia will not want to reckon with.

Note: If target visits alerted Veteran, target can't be protected by bodyguard and will be killed.
