I'd tend to go with the second example - just the follower and his "type" - then you can fill in the rest later when you're settling on actual abilities, unless he has some amazing extraordinary power - "Dravdul, the Flying Scribe with X-ray vision".

But if you're giving him mundane abilities, I wouldn't worry about putting them in your 100 words.

But that's just me...
