I know it exists because I read over the class at some point months ago. It might be an NPC class too.

It may have been from some 3rd party source (yuck!). Those lists include everything WotC has.

Bodyguard is a type of Fighter, the same way a Necromancer is a type of Wizard.

Yah, Devoted defender is a 3.0 bodygaurd that never got transfered into 3.5. I really liked it for my mindbenders cohort fighter. Sword and fist was the name of the splatbook i think.
