Yeah, I kind of have given up already on trying to do an Interactive Diagram with this -- not just for the Bodyguard's Hia power, but also for the Castling, and for all the promotions that happen.

What you say about the ordering of the lists is a good note. I'll work on that, and maybe the whole thing will seem clearer. What are you referring to by its "image," though? The symbol on a diagram, or what the piece itself would look like?

As for the Satrap, I think I'll go ahead and fix the move. (I blame Gilman himself for the confusion; too much cross-referencing without a bottom-line explanation just makes things harder.) This would make it, I think, mWmDcFcA... which, on second thought, would kind of call for a mFmAcWcD somewhere, so I may just dump the Satrap altogether for a Squirrel or something similarly circular. (I'll leave that part as-is until I decide.)
