Ghoul Retainer and weapon effects

Ghoul Retainer - 2 lifes Each round of combat, may strike for 1 hand damage or use a weapon the vampire it is on is not using White Phosphorous Grenade - 2R, aggravated Bearer receives 1 aggravated, if used at close range my question: if Ghoul Retainer uses White Phosporous Grenade during close range combat, is the damage for close range combat applied to the retainer's employer or not at all since retainers can only be damaged by long range combat effects? or more concisely, is the bearer of the weapon still considered the retainer's employer? TIA

[ quoted text not captured ] The bearer of the weapon is the person holding it. Retainers can't hold weapons. The vampire still takes the damage. -Chris
