Boss guarding a hostage - can it be done?

This questions popped up lots of times since AE came out. Unfortunately, to my knowledge, it is not - nor has ever been - possible to spawn a single specific boss in a hostage or ally detail.
The only way to be sure of getting your desired enemy would be to create a custom group with only that NPC and set that as the guarding group. The problem with this is that the spawn size expands relative to your team size, giving you the ridiculous scenario of 8 or so bosses in a full team.
Still hoping the devs will implement this in the future though!
Justice Hunter, 50 Inv/SS Tank
Slenszic, 50 Sword/Energy Stalker

Eh, that's what I was afraid of. I tried setting the size to "single", but apparently that means there's only the hostage, with no guard.
Ahwell, here's hoping it gets implemented.

- Create a second copy of your custom or standard/mix faction;
- Add your boss to the copy of the faction;
- Flag your boss as a unique spawn; and
- Set the copy rather than your main faction as the spawn guards.
This may not guarantee that the boss character will spawn at all, but if he does spawn he should be unique.
