Here's how you use bodyguard with your mastermind and what it does, taken from a post by Positron on the official forum:
Mastermind Bodyguards – a new defensive feature
Setting to Bodyguard - You can set any Mastermind pet to Bodyguard by selecting the Defensive Stance and the Follow Orders. Your pets must be within Supremacy range for this function to work.
Damage Mitigation - When set to Bodyguard mode, the Mastermind and his pets share damage from any attack that the Mastermind takes damage from. Each pet takes one “Share” of the damage, and the Mastermind himself takes 2 “Shares”. This is in addition to any damage that the pets themselves might incur from Area attacks.
Example: If a Mastermind has 3 pets set to Def/Fol, and he gets hit with a 100 point attack, each pet will take 20 points of damage, and he himself will take 40 points. (total of 100 points of damage).
