Ooh, that's a tough one. Since he doesn't particularly care for anyone else in particular, probably someone he'd be able to use, so possibly one of the other toadies who hung around him and Orc in the beginning. Panda, Cookie or Mallet, maybe.

Although, oddly enough, I could see him bringing Edilio. Not because he can use Edilio, but because Edilio seems to be the only Councilmember Howard respects and seems to feel somewhat sympathetic for.

So I'll say Edilio.
