He could be a smart guy still, maybe that's what makes hima good rider candidate. But my current theory is that maybe he's just such a nice well meaning guy that some Chemi just befriend him on sight in the first episode and that's why he's given a belt, maybe he's the first person they find who can befriend Chemi instead of being corrupted by them.

Yes, I think that he will simply be at the center of the incident and the history of the Wizard will be repeated. But since they call him an alchemist, then perhaps he will somehow begin to comprehend the science (pseudo-science!), Which made him a rider. Trite to quickly catch the 101st monster. I mean, he has to seal two or three enemies per episode.
