Early in my native campaign, I appointed Nizar as the minister of my new independent faction. The Sarranids captured my lone castle and then I retook the castle and now I have a much larger stable kingdom. Nizar never returned to my party, I would guess that ~500 days have passed. At some indeterminate point, Katrin also disappeared from my party, which I don't fully understand because I haven't lost a single battle to an enemy lord and I am pretty sure she came back from the right to rule quest I sent her on at some point, but maybe not (I actually forgot about her and got her back by mistake!)
Anyways, I have done some researching on the problem of my two missing companions and found this other thread:

The following fix from that thread(below) successfully pulled Katrin out of limbo for me, but I can't seem to get Nizar back still. Any thoughts/fixes?

Alright, open your simple_triggers.txt file and go to the bottom
Replace one of the

with

Start your game, Bunduk should pop into your party. Save your game, and then change your simple_triggers.txt file back.
