Spoiler!!!
There is an inversion effect when they talk about him, that's the same inversion effect that happens on rune's backstory when they talk about someone who was corrupted. That means he was corrupted, so the racist is gone for good!
Also, it's implied he was the one who severed the cables at the station, causing the shutdown.
I kinda hope he at least gets a scene where he regrets his actions against the MC before being corrupted, idk
