[Spoilers C3E3] New to C3, is Ashton a similar listening experience as Beauregard was?

Tagged as spoilers but it isn't really. I'm only on episode 3 of C3 after finishing Campaign 2 a few weeks ago. Early in C2, I really, really couldn't stand Beau and it took a long time before I warmed up to her. By the end, I appreciated her a lot. Never really fell in love with the character but I can say for sure that I liked what she brought to the Nein.

I'm still getting to know these new characters, and I'm really struggling with Ashton even more than I did with Beau. Taliesin is obviously a master roleplayer, Caduceus was one of my favorite characters by far in C2, but the way he's playing this character is just so over the top and hard to listen to lol.

I guess I'm asking for mild spoilers here but does his character have any kind of similar trajectory as Beau's did? Maybe it's a bad comparison. I just really, really can't stand Ashton right now.
