Wyll has 16>18 Charisma, but he's acting like a common farmer. He's written as a low charisma character. A pathetic victim. An obvious liar who toots his own horn.
High charisma characters are supposed to be something special - intriguing, impressive, amiable, admirable, natural leaders even if they choose not to. It's the perfect visage to hide your flaws or dark secrets and devil pacts. A charismatic character should have a presence that stands out. That's what would catch a devil's eye as well. What did Mizora ever see in this person worth making a pact for? Wyll fades into the background until he steps up to complain to goblins who abused him. Goblins.
They should revise this character entirely, keeping in mind what high charisma means. It should allow them to influence others. Wyll is only influencing me to leave him at camp. Or they could make him a Cha 10 Warlock to keep things consistent but I don't see how that would make him an attractive companion.
On the other hand, Lae'zel with 8 Charisma is written as a confident, impressive character who gets things done. When she says with conviction we go to the Creche, I want to follow her to the creche. She's able to assume leadership in the beginning. She should have at least 12 Charisma. So perhaps Larian just need to figure out what Charisma means. 8 Charisma means you're weak of personality, a quiet nobody.
