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?
Why would an evil player boot him? He’s the only non-custom character with expertise in Sleight of Hand, his utility outweighs his cost. He’s a significant contributor to me becoming filthy rich. He doesn’t even demand a share of the loot. Blood is cheap.
