He might be easily surprised, and even if he isn't, his Initiative is a +0. A wolf or other mundane animal could deplete his hit points with a single attack, before Gregor ever gets a chance to act. Even without that problem, Gregor's father might easily believe that no one not trained as a fighter can truly protect himself, leading him to send a 'protector' along, not trusting in his son's self-defence skills.
