Papashan is in part of the early story quests in ARR, though I can't recall if it's particular to players starting in Uldah or if it was a quest available for everyone. Being that I remember him and I started in Limsa, I think it was something everyone could experience.

If you blasted through quests and cutscenes then you likely missed his importance, but yeah, he's actually pretty important in Uldah.
He's a central figure to the MSQ if you start in Ul'dah. ^^
