No.Would he be disrespectful to a barman? probably.My players ask me what they know about NPC's if they have to go meet one.  e.g your informant is Jarik the Drunkard at the grey eagle tavern.  Your player may try to be arrogant towards this guy.But, if my players ask around they will learn hes a drunk and hasnt had a real job in 10 years.  He has been living off the hoard of a dragon he killed.  His last valuable possesion he has is a silver ornate longsord - awarded to him by the King for winning the open invitation best swordsman in the world prize for 5 years running.  he is an alcoholic who flies into rages, the only reason he is not in jail is because of favours he has done for nobles in the past.Would your player still be arrogant at this fleshed out NPC? Or maybe leave his char sheet on the table where he can clearly see level 13 fighter/7 weaponmaster. :></blockquote>
