Since he's a newbie, I'd keep it simple and straightforward. Without campaign 
specifics, that's the best advice I can give. But newbies have enough on 
their hands without getting overly complicated with roleplaying demands. They have 
to get used to the idea of a game where no one wins or loses, they have to 
get used to the concept of an ongoing *story*, they have to get used to the idea 
of  ROLE playing, and they have to learn the rules so they can do the ROLL 
playing. Once the player is comfortable, you can spice things up for the 
character, but I would start simple.

As they say, your mileage may vary.
