Just also one that could be done pretty smoothly because we really didnt have anything reliable about what went on.
Just 3rd hand accounts at best.
That would be a relatively early retcon. The moment we enter the Castle everything we see implies he is at the very least a trusted servant of the Heterodynes, one known by the Castle, and who can recollect events from quite long ago. Adding to that his physical abilities does fit a Jaeger. His looks and behaviour obviously don't, but we know those can vary - Jenka looks relatively normal after all.
