So I'll be running the AP with two different group and one thing that came out in both group was that one of the player wanted to be the slave of another player. Now I know it's kinda encouraged with the Great Slip trait. Except one of the slave is not a halfling. Now the interactions the group will have with them have already been explained to them.
My bigger question is how would the major NPC see that. Especially since they should become big players in the thrune hierarchy. Would Abrogail really give any kind of authority to a simple slave?
I'd like some advice as to how I should manage those characters future.

Presumably she'd treat the character as a proxy for his master, and would assign rewards and punishments appropriately. Such a player should be advised that his character will probably get no recognition, no rewards, but most likely get most of the blame for his/her actions.

Ya but since his master would already be in the group getting his reward as a PC would she give another one? What I've been thinking about is maybe end up either freeing him for service rendered or maybe having Abrogail become his owner.

A DM could equally rule both ways. Remember though, Abrogail isn't what you call a nice person. And a slave that's working for an agent of hers isn't the same as one working directly for her. She's cold, calculating and works through the long game. But slaves in Cheliax are pretty close to being non-persons.
And I can not stress this enough.. if you are the GM... it's ultimately YOUR CALL, which by definition, is the right one. If I were running the game, a person who chooses to be slave instead of a hero will be traveling a harder road which doesn't come with a commensurate reward, and I'd let the player know that before committing to such a decision.
