Thaco, more than any other character except maybe Minmax, is an artifact of the comic's humble beginnings, where it was as much about lampooning silly DnD rules as it was telling a story. From this perspective, he is a somewhat more disposable character than most, but I would still say there's more for him to do. Some higher level monk abilities, more family time with Names (who has never complained about his own name, or his father's, so a flashback to baby Complains crying at his own naming ceremony while a middle aged Thaco tells the audience how Young and Beautiful is even more full of crap than we thought), and maybe a scene in the trip to Hell where Thaco gets in a grumpy-old-man-off with some particularly ancient and horrible demon (who possibly turns out to be some great-great-grandfather of Grinnoraracen, and thus owes Kin a favor which can be repaid by helping some of Dies's friends, after the whole party finally gets together for the endgame quest).
