We kind of did...he'd always be there listening stoically, giving bits of advice. He was with Jason in the DR during his meltdown, for example. I think what we saw as boring and uninvolved might have seemed like a grounding, quietly strong, comforting influence to the HMs in distress.
If not for the Evelyn stuff revealing murkier traits, I'd have quite liked him.
