So the idea is that he's just a generic guy, like a Mafia thug or an NYPD beat cop (how do we have neither of these in the game yet, anyway?), and he has no special abilities. Instead, he can equip extra active items to his 1-4 ability slots and gets extra souls with boons instead of ability points. Items that are imbued or otherwise activate on ability cast would apply to these slots. The idea would be that he would have lots of utility as a support to counter enemies, as he would need a lot less farm to buy debuffers, and if you tune his gun well enough, he could also have a damage build where he uses items like Shadow Weave, Capacitor etc.
Characterization-wise, he would represent the way that ordinary people interact with the occult in a post-Maelstrom world. That is, as just another set of tools that they use in their daily lives, rather than as a core part of their identity. His reason for participating in the ritual? His boss (A Mafia Capo or Police Captain, respectively) told him to.
