That could work, but I think he'd ultimately lean more towards a scouting role than a bodyguard meant to protect the Lords. It's an angle to consider at the least.

Exactly what is the story's starting point? Are the characters going to be trying to oust the Black Scorpions and establish themselves as the proper ruling party before the Lords take their positions and what not?

A scout could be a really cool addition. Excited to see what you have in mind.

The Black Scorpions won't come into play until after the new kingdom is established. They won't take us seriously as a threat to them at first. Suleiman will literally just stroll into town, cause a big commotion, show off his fancy Writ of Kings, and recruit the party to go labyrinth delving to find the goddess.
