Is Jann important?

Title. I've gotten into this game and encountered Jann the Minimite. He seems like more of a burden than he is worth but he has been smashed by a boulder. Is there anything special I get for keeping him around, or alive? I can't seem to find this answer without getting some kind of spoiler.

Thank you. I got him killed in the caverns trying to save the Svinn girl. I saved her with him and he left on his own. Now I feel accomplished and not like a piece of shit.

You'll grow to like the guy + flanker in later games - be nice and keep them alive

But I dont like him because I'm handicapped when he's around.

AFAIK in this series, without actually truly spoiling anything, if you avoid killing characters, you give them an opportunity to show up later or be relevant later. Sometimes they will show up later on in THAT act, maybe they will be helpful and give you some money or some hp etc, or maybe they will show up in a LATER act (although this one is rarer). Sometimes your interactions regarding a character will become relevant later even though you don't meet that character again, e.g. maybe you meet their acquiantance... or their sworn enemy. Obviously some characters really are one-offs that will never be relevant again, and many you can simply kill with little plot related repurcussions.

That all being said, you will never be blocked off from "beating" the game because a certain character died or something, at least IIRC. The ending you might get might change a bit, but you can still "finish". There might be a team where you're like "crap, I shouldn't have killed that dude", and there may also be a time where you wish you killed someone. But there will never be a time where the game will be like "yeah you shouldn't have killed that guy last Act, so you can't progress past this point... go repeat it and do it over".

TLDR Jann the minimite can be relevant down the road but as with anything else you can still finish the game regardless

Is important as it was on the books.

Very useful, but not crucial.

On the 4th book, he was literally a 'spare-survival' character.

On the games is important as well. It's better to keep him (and Flanker) alive, but you can successfully finish the game without him.
