Here is what I know about him in relation to HoW. He tried to sneak through the asteroid belt and towards Jupiter so he could find out what kind of weird shit the nine were up to. He and his Crows got caught and the nine demanded that he be given to them. The Queen refused and gave them skills instead. Then, sometime between that and HoW he "escaped" from the nine. My opinion on the matter is that the nine allowed him to be set loose on the system because they're a bunch of bitter assholes who didn't get what they wanted.
