This guy is definitely the duke's pawn. It's the only reasonable explanation for both the duke's attitude towards him (putting up with everything he does and basically just ignoring his presence and comments) and the fact that he is always with the duke (even at the end).

I'd buy him being just the jester if the duke was the sort of King Joffrey-type crazy that got a sick pleasure out of his antics, but the duke never seems enterained by him, and Feste never seems scared of getting chucked off the castle wall when the duke is in one of his moods. Rather, the duke's attitude towards him is almost identical to the Dragonforged's towards his pawn.
