I wouldn't underestimate the 'no one will talk to him ever again effect'. To the modern mind it's no big deal, you can always find a group who don't know/care and join them. To the monotheist churches he'll be worse than those pagans who are merely ignorant. If people believe that their chances of going to solace will be damaged by associating with him he's going to be refused shelter and food even if he has the means to pay for them. Even other cultures will look at him dubiously when they discover his background. Typical Orlanthi reaction - "Kicked out of a church of wizards? - sorcerer, burn him!"
I guess the Lunars might be happy to recruit him, but they'll take anybody.
