A Bodyguard team of Fire Warriors in Crisis battlesuit armour may accompany a Shas'o or a Shas'el. The bodyguards will always be Shas'vre veterans, experienced and proven in battle. It is common for such Bodyguard teams to be predominantly made up of a Commander's kin or long-term friends, and it is a great honour to be chosen for the role.
