Bodyguards

Bodyguards are listed separately from gang members. Bodyguards stand by your side during fights. Their focus is to defend you, so their defense stats are quite high.

In a fight, only your strongest bodyguard's stats apply, so if you have The Doorman and Benny the Bouncer both fully upgraded, your damage is only reduced by 37, not the 59 it would be if the stats stacked. Damage is applied to a random bodyguard when you are hit, so if you have Benny the Bouncer protecting you, either he or The Doorman could be damaged. This is especially useful at higher levels, where the cost to heal bodyguards can be very high.

The Doorman

A pretty basic bodyguard, who generally stands outside your office door, not allowing your spouse in.

Benny the Bouncer

Unlocked at Level 5

His first job was to stand in a spot until someone paid him to let people into a building. He left following an existential crisis.

Mr. Muscles

Some hired, genetically modified Russian muscle. A short phrase he said in the 80s became something of a meme.

Amazon Guard
Cost: x rep / x bucks

Unlocked at Level ?

After the fall of the Gaddafi regime, his all-female 'Amazon Guard' split up and took odd jobs from mafia families. It's more or less the same.

The Rook

Unlocked at Level ?

Nobody knows his name, or where he came from, but his cold, silent judgemental stare scares away all but the most vicious of attackers.

Unlocked at Level 25

This seven-foot-seven man is surprisingly gentle, and reputedly refuses to let anyone ever pay restaurant bills.
