No. Nothing, absolutely nothing, can protect a retainer from a strike,
if the strike resolves. (Combat Ends or sending the opposing striker to
Torpor with First Strike will protect the Retainer).
Reference:
12.3.1
Retainers cannot use equipment, deal damage in combat, or act
independently of the minion they are augmenting. They can be destroyed
(burned) in combat by suffering as much damage as they have life. The only
damage that can be dealt to them is ranged damage (see Combat, Sec. 15),
and any time ranged damage is dealt to a minion, the Methuselah
controlling the minion dealing the ranged damage may choose to apply all
of it to either the minion or to a retainer on the minion. This damage
cannot be prevented by Dodge or any other intervention. If a retainer is
not burned in a given combat, its wounds are considered healed. Retainers
are also burned when the minion they are employed by is burned.
