I already have a gut feeling he's just playing dumb just by how he acts towards Mc is completely different than when other people inside reacts to him. He's definitely a black flag
He supposedly cant remember his past which is a trauma response, villagers dont want to remember the past either and he probably did something back then, i think he might just be a bit uneducated, im hoping hes just dumb lol
Yo this is peak ashl, they really need to get together alr
