During his 3rd year aboard the train the tail revolted but was defeated and he, along with 12 others later, had one of their arms lost as punishment.

Death
He is shown to be one of the leading members of the Tail, and was a member of the small group in charge of planning the rebellion. During his birthday, he requested an hour alone with the only phone in the Tail so he could listen to a Rachmaninoff recording. His request was accepted by the other Tailies, and he played music whilst looking at old photographs of his wife. Shortly after, he hanged himself with the phone's electrical cord.
He was found shortly after, and his death was a catalyst for Pike's reaction and enactment of the rebellion.[1]
