"Special Hirelings" / Followers / Minions

In the SWC section on Charisma, we have the following:
"Charisma also limits the number of 'special hirelings' your character can attract into service as vassals. This does not mean normal men-at-arms; it means henchmen who are character types: Magic-Users, Clerics and others. Once your character reaches higher levels, you will need those minions! Charisma does not affect the number of regular troops, lantern-bearers, and pack carriers you can employ, although it might affect how loyal they are."
I scoured the rest of the rules but couldn't find anything else about this, besides the section on Rangers (specific only to that class) and higher level adventuring (but these are "normal" hirelings like men-at-arms.) Are there some rules on this that I just couldn't find? Thx!
