Well, it's an out-of-faction Investigator (if you consider Msikatonic the 'home faction' of Investigators) with two investigation icons. So, that's probably kind of useful in the right deck.
I still haven't used him in any deck though, since I generally dislike characters that stay attached to stories. I just don't see the advantage.
The advantage is that you're getting a better than average character for the cost in return for a drawback. So it becomes a question of how well you can mitigate the drawback and as Mulletcheese pointed out he sort of helps make up for poor Arcane. However, this is less of an Agency weakness after San Marco so his role has probably shrunk a bit. Still a decent guy for those who are just starting out and if you can beef him up with a Shotgun, etc... then he becomes a pretty stout guy to park at a story. Investigator can also have some synergy in certain decks.
I love him in my rush deck.
But, does he ready while staying committed?
Yes, he readies during the Refresh phase along with all of your other characters. Being committed doesn't stop a character from readying (such as winning the Arcane struggle).
