That sounds like a story made up by scholars to fit.

Honestly though. Why does this guy matter at all? Is he relevant in any way?

If he was kept in such conditions, then yeah, probably. Why would they do that to a run of the mill, peasant criminal?

Because this was early modern Europe, not fucking ancient times, people didn't have their heads chopped off for fucking stealing. This punishment was both cruel and unusual, he had to have been someone important, important enough that they couldn't or didn't want to simply kill.

He existed, as sure as Tarrare was a person who actually existed.

Why did he wear the mask?

There isn't any more evidence for that than the secret father and general theories.
He was a noble. Probably related to the king and probably just looked too much like his Kingly kin
