Buddyguard

Buddyguard was a close protection organization founded by Colonel Black, and established some time in present day. Based in Wales.A highly secretive organization, it only supplies young bodyguards which operate invisibly as the Principal's constant companion and provides the greatest possible protection for any vulnerable or high profile target.

Originally sanctioned by the British government's department for National Security, the project had been shelved as it was deemed to be too heavy a gamble if the country's media got wind of it. The Colonel, however, revived the Buddyguard project, regardless of it being unauthorized, on a private contract basis.

The motto of Buddyguard is "Praedice. Prohibe. Defende". or Prevent, Predict and Protect. Its design consists of a shield with wings on both sides.

After the destruction of Buddyguard's facilities by the terrorist organization Equilibrum, and the subsequent efforts of some of the members of Alpha Team in bringing the latter down, it was officially shut down by the M16 Deputy Director, Stella Sinclair, owing to the lack of a suitable replacement as leader.
