In 5e, I'd say no... and ends up a penniless classless ascetic/monk/possibly fully ordained priest. I suppose you could make him a pacifist cleric who uses no arms or armor if you want. But I wouldn't even grant him spells...an NPC mendicant or pilgrim or some other penitent looking for absolution. He's certainly not getting any spells or god-granted powers for shtupping his sworn liege's wife and forsaking his duties and honor. No siree, Bob. He'll be hunting after atonement for quite a while.So it would depend on where in his story one encounters him to determine what it is he'd be in 5e terms.</blockquote>
