Pretty good theory Shrink. When I first started reading your post I thought you were going in the wrong direction. But as I read on, the idea is plausible, probably not for Squeek, but perhaps for either the fourth or fifth quintology character.
As we know, more of Oddworld will be revealed to us as we go more into the Quintology... and ultimately we will see the huge cities of Oddworld (like our New Yorks and Tokyos I would say). Likewise, Oddworld is all about showing us something that relates to our society.
The idea you put forth would certainly be an unlikely hero. As no one would expect a creature who is engrossed in moolah to get back to his roots and realize that there is more out there than moolah (why does this sound so much like something I've heard before??? Not Oddworld related, on Earth). If this were the case though he'd probably just be a 'normal' citizen, not a high profile executive or the type.
But knowing Oddworld, I'm sure there would have to be some further twist that would show us exactly the problems this large city is producing. Whether it be pollution or destroying the planet or just showing the corruption of the society as a whole.
When you think of it ... there are many ways an "unlikely hero" could come about.
