Large Ugandan I deployed as my protector? (8,5)
I believe the answer is:
guardian angel
'my protector?' is the definition.
(someone looking out for you)
'large ugandan i deployed' is the wordplay.
'deployed' is an anagram indicator.
'large'+'ugandan'+'i'='largeugandani'
'largeugandani' is an anagram of 'GUARDIAN ANGEL'.
'as' is the link.
(Other definitions for guardian angel that I've seen before include "spirit of helpfulness" , "One watching out for another" , "Person concerned with the welfare of another" , "Protective spirit" , "Protector (ours?) - city vigilante" .)
