Dead Thrall brings back people (even an enemy) to fight for you & if they get killed, they don't turn to ash, so you can reannimate them. Plus they make excellent "walking trunks". Most tend to moan constantly, but it's not terribly annoying actually, because it reassures you that they're still with you.
