Bad news: He apparently has absolutely no idea of what he wants to do with his character. All of my questions to him ("What's your character doing in [game city]?" "What sort of character are you playing?" "What does your character look like?", etc.) were met with a blank look and the equivalent of, "I dunno."
I honestly had no idea of how to integrate his character into the group (it's a Changeling game set in Philadelphia, if that helps), until one of the other players decided that her character could invite his to the party she's throwing next session.
Hopefully he'll show up for next session with the character a little more firmly developed...I can hope, right? :)

He kept asking me what the "goal" of Changeling was - I told him it was to inspire mortals, and try to keep creativity in the world (or something like that). I got a blank look.
His character is a Nocker drag racer who's majoring in mechanical engineering in Pittsburgh. The game takes place in Philadelphia. He says the character could commute - I'm not sure, but isn't Pittsburgh on the other end of PA from Philly?
In other words, yes. the two cities are on opposite sides of the state.
