I haven't actually played durge yet, but I'm planning to this next playthrough. I'm almost finished with my 2nd playthrough, which was supposed to be an evil playthrough, but at each choice, knowing how much I would be missing out on led me to helping and saving people, instead of telling them to fuck off and then hitting them in the face with my sword. Except for Balthazar. I wasted no time talking to that ugly bitch. I just attacked him.
I mean arguably its the best and easiest place to take him out. There's not really a reason to keep him alive unless you really are in an Evil campaign.
Even if I was evil, I'd never team up with someone like him, unless he could provide me with something that I couldn't obtain without him. He's incredibly selfish, arrogant, and condescending. I can't see any evil -or even any good- character I play tolerating his banter, and demands. The only reason I didn't kill him outright in the first playthrough was because he killed me when I tried. LOL. I just wasn't powerful enough the first time through.
If you think Gale as a character is terrible, you should see his voice actors role in Toast of London, as "Danny Bear."
Tim Downie is just a little too good at playing arrogant jerks.

What? I don't think he's terrible. Are you confusing what I said about Balthazar, thinking I'm talking about Gale?
I confused the two, because Gale gets on my nerves and your descriptors fit how I feel about Gale lmao.
It's because elsewhere I commented about cutting off Gale's hand as durge and thought you were responding to that one, got myself confused.
Funny. I did the same thing yesterday, I wrote out a very long response to the completely wrong person, on a completely different post, because I was having two similar conversations.
I think Gale is pretty cool. He chills out on the Goodie-Two-Shoes act in act 3 when some opportunities present themselves. Idk if he only goes that direction if you push him in that direction, but push I did! He's smart, and capable, and pliable too.
