More Non-Mercenary Followers?

[RayLionheart]

Just wondering, when and where, if at all, can you gain more followers aside from Yria and Raith that are not basic NPC mercenaries?
Thanks! : 3

There are in total 5 NPC companions: Yria, Raith, Kaiawu, Rerah and Katras. There are no special things to do to recruit them, just advance in the story and they'll ask to join.

So in total you have 8 characters when playing solo and 10 when in coop with other 2 players.

Thanks! Do you remember when you unlock those other than Yria and Raith? Is it after the first darkelf mission where you have a choice to pursue 3 in any order?

The spoiler char you unlock when you visit the dark elf capital and finish his subsequent quest. The rest you unlock fairly early so just play a bit.

Hmm okay. Thanks Uottafac and Xartax

Can you tell me what skill combinations they use?

Raith = Necromancy / Demonology
Yria = Light Magic / Hunting
Kaiawu = ? / ?
Rerah = ? / ?
Katras = ? / ?

You are obliged to take Katras with you on every run. This guy is golden.

The Non-Mercenary chars should have something more special about them in ability.

Know its a necro but this part does annoy me alot specially when you had that guy in Spellforce 3 who combined Light and Dark Magics into a unique set, least with Mercs you can get the missing sets of ability combos such as Druidism/Demonology (why isn't there an Orc for this?).
