He's always been an independent thinker but I would still say his main goal is power and success. As soon as he figured out that the cabal was done/going down, he made a deal and put all his chips on the other side. His contracts with space force, X, etc. etc. pretty much guarantee him a very powerful position in the coming "good reset". He may have had a bad past in the underworld though. In that case he may just be sticking to his deal & playing his part without any real power. Who will really ever know? If he has DOE clearance (which no doubt he does) then he knows a lot more than anyone here about whats really going on.
