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?

That he is creepy, and behaving like a peace of shit is however definitely not untrue. I can appreciate that in an interestingz well written character however. He is pretty transparent however. Gale on the other hand I can stand less, since he resonates badly with me and I don't trust him. I a still interested in his story though.
