I got to the gates, he BARELY lived through the fight, and then Wyll attacked me because my wizard did an aoe cantrip (I assume this is why he attacked me) on a goblin next to Wyll. So I killed him thinking he was a random NPC. Only 3 hours later did I learn he was a possible companion. 100% suggest they make his recruitment a bit less problematic. Kinda felt crappy from a new player perspective to miss an origin character so easily.
