If you don't kill the guy you end Mason's questline, and the quest "Nameless Terror" can be accepted right after leaving the Catacombs (earlier than if you kill the guy). Your pawns will let you know that you should've killed him (not that they're assholes it's just a situation assessment). Mason also leaves Gransys right after this if you don't kill him.

If you do kill him, Mason's questline can be continued, which is important if you care about Madeleine getting her shop. Your pawns will also applaud your decision-making skills (freaking kiss-ups), and Mason won't leave Gransys right away.

I always kill the guy. Even if I don't exactly feel good about murder, the game painted this guy as an asshole and even if he was begging and bargaining for his life, he was doing some sick shit before this (like sacrificing his cult mates in order to perform Necromancy). Plus sparing his life gives no benefits. He isn't very grateful and you never see him again.

So yeah, smoke that fool.
