Imagine if he was recognized as the son of the Duke and it let you get more access to the areas that you can't enter (a little easier), so long as he was in your party. Like cellars in houses (for the greater good of gathering supplies to aid your party in the fight against the Absolute's army) and other restricted areas.
That is such a missed opportunity. If stuff dealing with the upper class and nobility was locked behind either having Nobility background, passing a difficult charisma check (where we get to use the Actor feat for once) or having Wyll in your party. It´s strange how everyone respects and recognizes my urchin Tav and invites them everywhere as if they are some high status celebrity.
