I disagree -- I expect this to be like meeting the plumbers in Sturmhalten -- finding someone with strong local area knowledge who can brief the main characters and help them through their current situation. The story has a strong thread of people having different specialties and levels of ability, and of improving with dedication, time, and practice. This one guy who's the survivor among the survivors is very motivated and could be that much better at hiding than any of the mass of unnamed rat minions is at finding something they're not particularly looking for, but not better than Agatha's ability to build a widget that does what she needs, even if it does so in a rather unexpected way.
This also reminds me of meeting Higgs, but a good chunk of that is the airman's uniform. Higgs got a much more detailed, pro-active badass intro that involved multiple previously introduced named characters. This gentleman I expect will flee the story (and the island) at the end of this segment.
