He probably won't be the "right person" whether or not he is a good person; the show has an obvious winner in the short-to-long future. I'm sure he's got flaws, but "Captain Hardrock" doesn't indicate that he has any under-the-surface malicious intentions. Then, of course, the crew could've made him feel more human and less perfect in that episode; it makes it harder to trust a character when he doesn't show any quirks or imperfections for an introductionary episode.

However, while I think the writing could've been done better with him and the lesson meant with him on that episode, I don't think Luka should've been left out of the show. It's an important lesson that it's okay to fall out of attraction for someone and be attracted to someone else. Marinette should definitely get to know Luka better before completely committing her feelings to him, but it's healthy for her to be infatuated with him when it's obvious that Adrien doesn't reciprocate the same feelings right now, as long as it doesn't turn into obsession or a "replacement attraction" to cover up her hurt over her relationship with Adrien.
