Easiest way is to memorise a few charm person spells. Then pick pocket and if the attempt fails then charm him and try again. Repeat until successful.
Montaron has a very high pick pocket naturally so makes the best pick pocket guy (except maybe Alora). I usually get my PC to level 5 before he disappears and recruit him as a level 5/6 character with an 85 PP score. Then buff via bard song (5), gauntlets of dex (5) and luck spell (5) for a perfect 100 - though I understand that PP is a skill that benefits from higher than 100.
Potions of Master Thievery give 40 PP and OL.
The above PP/charm strategy works in a few places but NOT on the guy with the FOM ring (and related paraphernalia) in Ulgoths Beard as he seems to be immune.
