maybe he went out to find help about the ghosts in his cellar and because he knew they were there he was accused of having the gift

torugo, that doesn't make sense, as he alredy asked Duvalier for help and believes that Duvalier sorted the problem out.

There is room aplenty for side-quests, but I also think it should be well balanced by simply, non-quest-starting NPC dialogue. I think Baz fits better into the latter category. Personally, I'd be happy to see only extra dialogue and no side quests for him.

I think the dialogue between the Main and Baz would be similar to some of the dialogue between the Main and Malice. I can imagine Baz talking about a bunch of probably fake things he had supposedly done in his life.
...For I am his, and he is mine, bought by the precious blood of Christ.

Anyone want to find the rest of the words?

You meantersay, Pip, that he would likely embellish stories of himself? That's possible, but I think Baz likely has a more rich story. Such as how he accumulated his vast wealth (after all, he is the sole benefactor of the entire campaign.) He seems proud of his wealth, so he likely worked for it in his youth, instead of being born into it.

I wasn't trying to that Baz didn't work hard, but even when bragging about legitimate achievements, people still tend to over exaggerate.
Pip?

The Pip came from me saying benefactor, then I thought of Great Expectations, as Baz has these great expectations of your small band of fighters. The boy in Great Expectations was nick-named Pip by (his uncle?) Who would consistently say "I meantersay Pip,..."

I do think that it will be in Baz's character to exaggerate his own achievements, but at the same time deliver certain facts in a rather specific fashion- like the storage shed being just that to him, yet for Duvalier and co it's a huge mansion. I think for Baz a lot of things will be seen from a very different perspective, that of a very rich man, so I think it would be nice to expand on it.

Personally, I'm in favour of more dialogue, although a side quest would be interesting.

Perhaps he could hire you to protect a trade caravan. Probably not his, as I believe the cult seized his assets, but he could hire you to on behalf of a business associate who was having trouble with bandits.
