In the original books, the backstory is that Dr. Syn is actually a pirate who retired to this double-life, it being a bit slicker and generally less risky than being an open and notorious criminal.
The scenes in which he (as Dr. Syn, of course) ‘hobnobs’ with the authorities, as the local religious leader and thus community icon naturally would, and so learns what plans are in operation to catch The Scarecrow, are priceless in themselves.
Though Dr. Syn is partly ‘mask’ for The Scarecrow, there is much more to him, and there is definitely a good deal of the real man in Dr. Syn, or vice versa.
