That sounds like a very cool theory. It even links "noble beast" to "noble savage" and involves coming of age rituals. Very suave. Since he is a bounty hunter though, it does have a kind of snag.
Someone mentioned seeing stranger meditating in the woods. I don't know what they saw exactly, but if it was a steef (undisguised) it could be that your ritual works the other way. Perhaps Steef are noble beasts who's coming of age includes some spiritual transcendence. If that's the case Stranger could be trying to take an easy way out and use his natural senses to bounty hunt for a living.
This would mean his conflict was still going against tradition, only he would be going the more violent way.
I generally feel that Stranger starts (the game) pretty rough around the edges.
