On his arrival on Mira, living in a mim that was not his own, he created his own identity, and took up the name Campanella. He avoided Layla as best he could, refusing to take on missions that may have made them coincide with each other in any way. However, she figured him out, and one day confronted him, having figured out that he took another’s place on the White Whale, indirectly killing them.
In a panic, afraid of dying and getting in trouble, he lashed out, taking Layla’s life.
The incident was covered up as an indigen attack - none but Campanella know the truth of the incident, and although the guilt weighs on him, he plans to keep it that way.
