The Lithuanian Guard

Based on some great service he provided the Lithuanian people in the past, Heinrich of Volstag is able to call upon service from many individuals. While it is unknown what limits there might be on this boon, Heinrich is known to take certain individuals into service periodically. In the year 2000, he provided his youngest childe, Brian O'Reilly, with a cadre eight of experienced ghouls, veterans of the armed forces, as bodyguards. When most of the original cadre was killed in 2022, the survivors (some of whom were now Brian's Childer) called upon the same service, and ten more veterans of Lithuania's military arrived, ready to take up service as Ghouls to a Vampire. They then filled out their ranks by recruiting mercenaries, veterans and bodyguards of other nationalities, with a particular eye toward any Baltic expatriates they could find. Four of these were killed by Sabbat forces in September, 2029.

Aras Valdemaras and Bronius Gintaras are now childer of Brian O'Reilly. Jurgis Ąžuolas was embraced as a last-ditch tactic by a Brujah anarch and served as an adopted childe until his death in 2029. Daumentas Skuodzius was embraced by Bronius in 2029.

The Companions -- Bodyguards and recruits from around the world

Technically, the companions are equal members of Brian O'Reilly's bodyguard, but since the core of that group is Lithuanian, recruits from other countries hold a kind of second class status within the organization. Most were trained in Quebec City by Aras Valdemaras, but others were recruited for specific acts of competence or in desperate situations. Before his death, Jurgis Ąžuolas was particularly fond of "recruiting" those who showed potential, and had a ridiculous number of blood-bound retainers who he tried to integrate with the groups combined bodyguard force "on the fly." Following his death, it fell to his siblings and sire to sort them out.

Between them, Brian's childer attempt to ensure that at least 30 well-armed security personnel are close enough to respond to danger wherever Brian ("The Principle") goes, along with whatever assistants and specialists he might need. Aras and Bronius each keep five of their own bodyguards with them, in addition to those they "maintain" for their sire's protection. For the past decade, Bronius has been responsible for the majority of this coordination, as Aras has remained in Quebec City, maintaining his Sire's territory there and training replacements (as well as earning money by providing security services for companies around North America and Europe).

Quebecois and Canadians form the majority of these recruits: The recent War of Independence (AKA Quebec Crisis or Quebecois Rebellion) has left many experienced combatants without a legal source of income. Aras specifically looks for retired soldiers (though he is not shy about offering "retirement bonuses" to active duty officers who show potential), and jumps at the rare Baltic expatriate. Though they remain a significant minority, Aras also seeks out competent women because they blend in more easily and can go some places men are not allowed.
