@Glenn31,

Although, based on his costume, I suspect he may have found it either useful or amusing to have other react to him as if he was a circus act. Wizards tend to be subtle and cunning; convincing everpony that he was a harmless, eccentric and borderline-insane drifter may have made it easier to get some things done.
