I'm pretty sure that as long as you don't add him to your party in mercenary, you'll be able to add the combat mage version of him in veteran. Some people have also been able to release companions in veteran to pick up the new versions, but that seems to be hit and miss. I've never been able to release a companion.

I haven't made it to elite level yet, so I don't know what the third version of Lothar is like. But if you add him in veteran, it doesn't really matter. Companions in your party remain exactly the same when you jump to a new difficulty level (in case that wasn't clear).
