Really interesting paragraph, NotYetMousse.
"Third is that Gorin, my free NPC, was the PC of a player who just decided not to come back to game. He becomes more important to the plot than he would have as a PC, which I wasn't planning to happen."
This is an interesting occurance that has occurred in several of my games. Just as you say such characters often seem to become more important to the plot as NPCs than they would have as PCs despite my not having planned things that way.
I hope other readers will respond with their thoughts on this phenomenon. Perhaps someone could do an article on the topic?
