In need of Special epic cohorts!!

[angel8fingers]

I am playing a 28th level charachter (20th Dread Necromancer, 5th Dungeon Lord, 2nd Aristocrat, 1st mind-bender) in a super powered (ish!) campaign. I am not really finding a special epic cohort on the table that I am liking. The DM is very liberal on cohort selection, so I can play around quite a bit. Just looking for suggestions on cohorts (need to keep it at CR 21) Any suggestions would be appreciated!

get a dracolich?
or just a really powerful dragon
or u just make a lvl 21 character as your cohort?
and shouldnt your cohort be 2 levels below you not 7?

My reasoning on the cohort CR...I qualify for Wyrm Brass Dragon on table 1-34 on special epic cohort table in epic level handbook. Said dragon is CR 21 according to draconomicon. So, I figure thats the CR I need to keep it at. Let me know if you think diff. Thanks for your time!

cohort is done off ECL not CR

to find out a monsters ECL add its HD and level adjustment. if its 2 less than yours or lower you can have it as a cohort. thus you could have up to a level 26 character as your cohort
