I could see how it could ruin the overall campaign going forward, but I'm not concerned with that for two main reasons: this won't be a particularly sandbox-y campaign, and it's going to be pretty short.
The two ways this ends for the warlock player are: he fucks up and reveals himself too soon, at which point he either dies in the 5v1 confrontation that occurs, or gets away at which point his character will be an NPC going forward. Or he gets all the way to the end of the campaign, and either succeeds or fails to convince the rest of the party to release his patron.
The BBEG having a sidekick that turns to the good side in return is an excellent idea. I'll definitely give that some thought.
