I never said he was a bum mook. Just that he can be a part of the White Fang and a decently ranked individual without having to be related to the Belladonna's. You don't have to have special relations to climb ranks.

And considering his murder happened in Vale while Blake was there, and she was watching/tracking the news, you'd think she would have found out about it and made mention of it at some point. They would have at least had a scene where she's upset and when the others ask why she can just say 'my cousin/uncle/big brother/whatever was found murdered in his bookstore the other day."
