Soooo..... you're suspicious of him because he's... good? You don't trust him because he wants to encourage you to give people who have fucked up a second chance (because, you know, he fucked up bigger than most people ever get a chance to, and is glad to be given a chance in return...)
I mean, you're still not telling what about him you're finding suspicious... what about him makes you leery of him, or makes you feel like something's off about him. I want to know what that is, because I can't see it, and no-one will tell me! People just Say "Oh he's so suspicious," and "Clearly there's something sinister going on there!" But No-one ever actually says what it is! What about him makes people think this? What does he do or say that leads people to that conclusion? I want to know!
I feel like you'd be convinced that my PC in a different game would be some kind of villainous mastermind ebcause she wants to see the best in everyone, wants to give everyone a second chance or three, and does her best to convince people that they can be better people, even the ones that have tried to kill her... I feel as though by your judgement scale you'd probably declare her to be the ultimate evil, because she's clearly too good.... now, I'm assuming that's not the case, and you wouldn't (I don't think...) so what is it about Gale's desire to act for the good and to be forgiving where possible, that makes you feel suspicious?
His condition, incidentally, eats one (1) magic item, and then he doesn't ask for any more, even as you find them... people really over-blow the whole "he'll take your things" angle.... it's super insignificant, all things considered. I also don't understand why people judge Gale as some kind of criminal for saying "I've got this problem, and I need your help to deal with it, but promise you won't freak out when I tell you what it is." ... like, how is the fact of the problem a reflection on him in any way?
