To be honest, I haven't really given much thought to his personality, beyond suggesting a latent leadership aptitude, so you've got pretty much a blank slate. Depending on how strategic you want to make him, though, I could see him subtly encouraging people to underestimate him, but not to the point that they would think of him as deadweight and vote him off on those grounds. Alternatively, he could spend a lot of time showing people what he can do, in order to make the point that their pity/scorn is unwarranted. In short, you've got a lot of options.

As for his name, call him whatever you want. As I mentioned when I first "auditioned" the character, "Richard Roe" is a fictitious name used in legal proceedings, and I figured that "Richard" was probably in use by now (although some permutations might still be available), so I never expected "Richard" to be his final name in the event that you decided to use him.

I originally suggested a Norwegian ancestry, so perhaps an ethnic Scandanavian name might be in order. Maybe "Sigurd" or "Olaf" or "Eirik" or something.
