From the games we've already seen the 'heroes' working alongside Wynne, Justice, Anders and Cole, all of whom could be branded as Abominations by overly zealous members of the Chantry. While Paxton may be a little closer to the Dark Side than any of those I can conceivably believe that he'd be able to hide his condition well enough to be accepted by the company, although that will all depend on how maniacal he acts during the actual roleplay, which will be down to how well [@Saarebas] can write for him.

If he gets too extreme, or behaves in a way which would cause suspicion, then it's possible that a visit from the Templars would be introduced into the narrative, and the party would have to decide whether to let them cart off the dangerous Abominations, argue the case for their Maleficar comrade, or fight to the death to protect their possessed Mage.
