Yeah I've got a feeling they're only letting this guy talk because they know he's literally worthless without servants.

Most of the kids are from Byron's farm, yeah, but not all of them are (and given Byron's farm has high quality goods, I don't imagine many of them survive long).

As for That Guy's name...this is probably the biggest silliest gag in the series and I actually like it. It feels like there's an in joke with Lucas and his old group that he's perpetuating here and I kinda love it.
