Absolutely!
He's a traveler, interested in the study of the magical world around him, though not particularly book smart by any means. Regardless, he's a practiced mage and a capable fighter, but often doesn't get up to much more than whatever little interest he's pursuing. Compassionate to a T, even if he's a little daydreamy and someone caught in their own world most of the time. This also means they often don't really practice a lot of the precaution those with magical educations do, learning of magic through touch and experience.
A lesson he's learned many times is to maybe not touch old artifacts... but the sword looked really cool, and it fit in his old swords sheath perfectly and.. well honestly it's not much of a bother to them. Not only are they oblivious to most of their curses, but they often benefit from them, or even get a new pal like their arm! The two disagree sometimes, but it's just nice to travel the road with someone.
