What about the idea which at first looks pretty cool but end-up at worst not bringing anything to the game at worst being boring to play ?

Yeah, I don't know what they were thinking. This is completely unplayable.

It works for NPCs that don't stick around for too long, but should never be a player character.

It works GREAT for a villain in my experience. You can taunt the players with their own words, or give ominous hints that they know wont be expounded upon.
