I am playing the conquest campaign using protector mode on normal difficulty. I had a good and challenging campaign (once I even had to restart) till one of my retinue members brought with him a minotaur king level 5 or 6. It does not matter as now I can rush anyone, I win all fights with ease. I do not know how to get rid of him, I cannot even kill him as he is always back in another battle. Permanent retinue is off, but it does not affect companions.
At this point I am thinking to restart the campaign and do not use the option to find companions, but again, that would be a pity not to use one of the game`s available mechanics.
Is the game counterbalance it in some way?

PS2 : What is the difference between special retinue (which i can disable/enable) and regular retinue ?
