"Unique" companions (spoilers inside)

[Dexter]

So far I found 2: one snow wolf in jail(i believe in first zone) level and Inquisitor chick with interesting hammer way back in Plagued zone as level 7

Feel free to add yours. I know You can recruit Plagued guy in first zone in stables(?) or something, on level 4

edit 1: also, Pony, Black Steed, stables on 3rd zone, need to put some wheat and it will appear

Tiltren (Best 'Unique' Companions):
- Hakert > Ranger *Loc: Stromkapp Mill *Rec.Cost: 1 Medicine
- Torus > Warrior *Loc: Woodland Farm *Rec.Cost: 5 Wolf Meat (Mini-quest if you
don't heal his plague with a potion)

Arthes:
- Ranger *Loc: Improvised Burning Stake *Rec.Cost: Fight Inquisition to save her
from the stake
- Looting Outlaw > Brute *Loc: South of Cortia *Rec.Cost: 150(?) gold (Tip: Check
Cortia tavern for possible bounty asking for the removal of the looters to make a
profit off the recruitment)
- Black Steed > Pony *Loc: Estuary Fishery *Rec.Cost: 8(?) Wheat placed in trough

Ludern:
- Inquisitor > Brute *Loc: Ludern Jail *Rec.Cost: 150 Gold

Grinmeer:
- Lyderic Hoevendorp > Swordsman *Loc: Brothel *Rec.Cost: A LONG quest chain
followed with a gold cost of -I think- 300(?) gold all for an average Swordsman
- Ponied-up > Pony *Loc: Rouste Field *Rec.Cost: Win the Rouste Tournament

Drombach (The newly added Alazar Territory):
- Gunbald > Ranger *Loc: Drombach Jail *Rec.Cost: 150 Gold (Unique trait: Hates
Heleth)
- Heleth > Warrior *Loc: Drombach Jail *Rec.Cost: 150 Gold (Unique trait: Hates
Gunbald)
*** Recruiting both will give you the Hate/Hate Relationship achievement
****** Tip: Despite hating each other, it is possible that recruiting one and
immediately recruiting the other can result in the first recruited
companion telling you they are worried about the other's performance
which can result in them training/giving the other the Second-Line trait.
Ex: Rec. Heleth > Rec. Gunbald > Heleth gives Gunbald Second-Line Trait

I haven't fully explored Drombach yet so there may be more 'unique' companions I'm missing. Also possible I forgot other companions from the other regions.

That Snow Wolf was just a random Prisoner, nothing Special.

I got that one too, although I guess it might just be a standard bear trait.

Bears in jail are funny. They usually have drunkard as a trait too.

[Stardustfire]

It seems traits still need debugging, especially on animals.

Must be a fake Vegan!

Meadowsweet is a war pony that you can win beating the Tiltren rouste team. She comes armored up and you're able to select the Lvl 3 Work Pony passive as well, but she stays a war pony and will be used in combat.

What do unique companions do? Are they unique because they are included in some kind of quest instead of those in taverns? or they offer some form of advantage in the game play?
