I got it!
The wolf companion that is. I figured out the invisibility problem. In the race entry, you have to set Morph Race and Armor Race to the same race as the original. After that, viola! there it is.
I just tested it and the ai is extremely basic. I guess this is the same as how the dog followers work in the game (I have never tried one, so do not know for certain). The first time you click on the wolf it becomes a follower. There is no on screen message to tell you that, which threw me before (it was working, but I never realized it!). After that the wolf will follow you wherever you go. If you draw a weapon, it will take an attack stance. If you go into combat, it helps. I made the wolf essential, so death will not be an issue.
I did not realize it earlier, but I had King Coin's follower mod on when I was doing some of my earlier testing. That is where that screen capture with the on screen text came from. The good thing about that, is we now know that the two mods work together. In fact, I highly recommend using KC's mod with this one, as it improves your ability to command Gladio.
