I absolutely love his echo logs, reminds me of asking undergrads questions 
So how many of your undergraduates want to be robots when they grow up? 
Ever seen āGrandmaās Boy?ā the movie.
Iāve tried him twice: once solo and another time when I started new characters with two of my friends IRL. Heās just not for me.
same here. he is my low level gear mule. lol
edit: TPS is the only Borderlands installment that i donāt have ALL chars at max level. Might have to suck it up to keep my streak going. lol eh, maybe not. 
At least you can do that with yours, canāt even use him like that on PS4. lol
Play as Aurelia once. She is just so fun and amazing. It really is a great game after all the dlc came out, and patches. I liked it from day one. But i guess people hated on it cause of the lack of endgame. Now thereās plenty to do.
My ranking of the TPS characters:
- Jack (ruled out by OP)
- Athena
3-4. Claptrap and Aurelia - None
6-7. Nisha and Wilhelm
Two, maybe three characters Iām interested in taking into UVHM. Two who donāt interest me at all. And Claptrap is fun for a run through NVHM but I donāt see a compelling reason to continue after experiencing Pirate Ship Mode.
Wilhelm seems like a less interesting, much less powerful version of Jack - pet class, can use any weapon well, good survivability. Iām already doing that with Jack, whose skill tree is much more interesting. Nothing about Nisha interests me - not interested in auto-aiming, dual-wielding (unless itās hilariously game-breaking like Sal, and I understand hers isnāt), Wild West motif, or her character as future Sheriff of Lynchwood.
So for the OPās purpose, this is a long-winded vote for Athena. 
I donāt have The Baroness DLC pack. Also, I went with Nisha. Only thing Iām not gonna like is not having any DLC other than Jack, and the shock drop slaughter dome.
