That orion seems like a bit of a waste. 60+ strength is wasted on almost anything other than pretenders, SC's and extremely costly, powerful units (ie, what the enemy wont let him near) and hes extremely expensive and hard to get for what he does. He does sound fun though.

Is awesome. I had no idea you could resurrect dead mercenaries to stay "on the team" forever.

Im pretty sure you can, aslong as they were working for you at their time of death.

only bad thing is that you can't take the items back from them that you equip them with. the other thing that i did once was cast gift of reason on all of his minion knights, that was pretty bad ace, though i think that still had the equipment problem that orion had

The other negative effect of a mercenary brought totally under your control via spells is that they cannot be given troops.

true, but i didn't go to all of that trouble to just make some guy to ferry troops around

Well in some of my games I've done ritual of rebirth on commanders with lots of astral or nature magic... these weren't mercenaries, but it sure would have been nice to use them in casting spells to teleport large armies. These were DOM_2 games.
