He's part of the adventuring party per se. He's always going to be an asshole, but specifically towards one guy. With nobody else being a dick, it seems quite pasted on without a reason.

Okay, so “why is he a dick?” seems like a less important question than “why do the rest of them keep him around if he’s the only dick?”

Do they need him for something only he can do? Maybe he’s a dick because he feels that he’s being used or because he’s drunk on the power he has over the rest of the party.

Do the rest of them secretly wish they could be a dick to the one guy he’s got it out for? Maybe he’s just brutally honest with no social skills, or maybe he’s just a bully who knows he can get away with targeting the dude no one likes.

Is he traveling with the rest of the party against his will or because he’s got nowhere else to go? That might make him lash out.

Or he could just be a dick. There are a lot of people who are assholes just for fun. If the plot doesn’t call for him to be deep, then he doesn’t need to be, but you still need to explain why the rest of the party doesn’t send him out for supplies and then leave without him.
