Free Timsh in The Brigmore Witches?

Question

In The Knife of Dunwall, I decided to have Barrister Arnold Timsh arrested (the dastard had it coming).

Now, I'm in Coldridge Prison and Timsh is asking me to get him out, telling me that this is the chance of my life.

Although I'm financially self-sufficient, I guess a little extra coin couldn't hurt, but I don't really trust Timsh to uphold his end of the bargain, and I'm worried about my reputation too; also, it would be pointless to free him, if he's just going to get himself killed by the guards.

What are the consequences of freeing Timsh? Will I have to expect retaliation from his niece, Thalia? What about Wiles Roland?
Will Timsh ever find out it was me who sent him there in the first place?

Taken from the Dishonored Wiki page on Arnold Timsch:

Although Timsh is scripted to run out and die if freed, retreating and cowering sounds standard for an alternate reaction, but no. Freeing Timsh does not have any repercussions, reputation or otherwise.

I did a Ghost run (without the Overseer favor), and choked out / sleep-darted all the guards (even those that appeared after I spoke with Lizzy). I had the gate closed, then released Timsh. He ran to the gate and stopped. I then sleep-darted him as well and brought him into the sewers. Finishing the mission did not result in any mention as special action.
If I opened the gate before releasing him, he ran outside on the bridge until he stopped at the closed door where he remained. Ending the mission did not result in a log entry either. Even releasing all the Hatters had no relevance.
Also not worth being mentioned as special actions: killing Timsh or locking up the guards in a cell.
TL;DR: If he survives the escape, no note will appear in the mission log. Seems like the DLCs did not get the same polish the main game did.
