I think it's boring. Just because a character doesn't talk doesn't mean I'm gonna relate to them or feel like I am them. As long as they're shooting a gun, or hell, doing anything that involves killing or fighting, I'm NOT gonna relate to them because I have no intention of killing or fighting with anyone. Either make a character that I can relate to or make an actual character. Don't be half assed and just have him not say anything, then say "Oh yeah, you're supposed to relate to him". Most of the time, they're just boring, flat characters that aren't interesting
Besides, I don't want to feel like I am the character half of the time. I would HATE to be in half of the "Silent character"'s situations
