I'm pretty new to the game so I've been scouring the forums for rules clarifications and the quote above caused some confusion. Couldn't I carry, but not have in use (sideways), a hireling of this type?
The rules say you can only have one Hireling, so no:

Just because it is an Item doesn't change it from being a Hireling, and as you can see, the above rule I quoted leaves no wiggle room.
