the Mercenary card -> unique monster

Been playing the 0.12 beta. Used the Mercenary card for the first time, got a named Tengu. Was that a rare occurrence of getting a unique monster as a permanent ally, or do all the Mercenaries come with names?

Didn't prevent YASD a few turns later... tried to escape a net in Spider when I should've just heal-potted and spammed legendary summons (Nemelexian at max piety with rPois).

I'm pretty sure that the Mercenaries come named.

The Mercenary Card was added in 0.11, so you don't need to play trunk to see it.

They used to be somewhat worth it until the ability to assign them equipment was removed; now they're just gold sinks.

unpaid mercenary + deep dwarf + vampiric draining = free health pack.

I take great delight in sucking those greedy little bastards dry.
