His foolishness eventually resulted in Jilan al-Cygni being forced to remove him from power by paralyzing him with TTR rounds.

It is unknown what happened to him after the First Battle of Harvest. Whether or not he was imprisoned for his insubordinate actions on Harvest, or if he even survived the escape from the planet is unknown.
