Good one. Also, it just came to me out of the blue, but what about Crony?

It has too many connotations with "cronyism" which is so derogatory that it has infected the meaning of crony in everyday English so that the "crony" has the vague whiff of an unqualified receiver of nepotism. As a second Rogue support subclass that has support functions that mainly help other roguish types, it might just about work as an option for players who would like to play henchmen in an evil/chaotic/crime oriented campaign. It probably isn't what we are looking for here, but it is not a bad idea in its own right even if doesn't get a lot of use.
