Feel free to use Lew in your own games! He's no Master of Light but he's not bad for the cash. He's got a little more gear than he might otherwise thanks to his earlier trip, too. My players chose to put Continual Light on his torches instead of lighting them, but it was still helpful to have a wide-area light.
