He does not align himself with no one per se. He tends to keep himself drawn in the back, mostly due to his rather unnatural traits, his hunger and his age. It might happen that he cannot stand watching "some pups" trying to govern all werewolves. My first thoughts on him were more about his "inverse" lycanthropy. He cannot stay human for too long, forcing him to become werewolf ever so often, mostly accompanied or caused by hunger. This should leave some big(ger) traces from time to time, no?
