Does retaliate trigger when an ally defends an attack made against your hero?
The official Rules Reference states this directly, and forum discussion agrees.

No. Retaliate triggers only when the character with retaliate is attacked. If an ally defends, the ally is the defender, so the hero's retaliate does not trigger unless the defending ally itself has retaliate and survives.
