I'm not sure what Larian are trying to do with this character: he's clearly a whiny, creepy rapist character with the way he creeps up on you in camp.

I understand wanting to include evil characters for variety, but I'm struggling to see how he fits into any party. A good player will boot him as soon as he tries to attack them and shows no remorse. An evil player will boot him for being a leech.

Does he get better later in the game to justify his existence?

I don't know what to make of him either.

First he tries to kill me, now he's constantly hitting on me. Although, because I built my dude specifically for dialogue, I have had insight checks that tell me he's faking his flattery. So I don't trust him at all. But I am not sure if that is something everyone will encounter or just if you have the right stats to succeed the passive checks.

Edit: Ok well I now know why he was creepy. But he also said he wanted to fuck, just not me and now I'm mad.
