You don't have to do all that reverse pick-pocketing or bound helments or cuirasses or even console commands.

Here is a simple way to keep Jauff and Baurus and most everyone alive during the Defense of Bruma:

(a) make sure you've done the Pilgramage / Knights of the Nine quest in the original TES Oblivion game so that you have the Merciless Touch spell and the Blessing of the Eight spell. The former allows you to heal your colleagues 20 points. The latter, gives them a fairly strong shield for 60 seconds.

(b) Before the battle cast shield spells on Jauff and Baurus in particular and other you want alive (don't bother w Martin - he can't die)

(c) During the battle, run around and heal and cast shield spells on everyone, but pay attention to B and J's (hehe) health if you want them alive. Don't worry about killing enemies unless one is targeting B or J.

(d) When the Great Gate opens, run straight into it and run through it - don't bother killing.

It may not work the first time, but do this 2-3 times max and you will certainly end up with Jauff and baurus both alive.
