He also appears in Xtreme and a short X5 manga, and is mentioned in the X4 Sigma/Zero flashback + English manual and I think the Japanese version of X6 (when Alia talks about X's discovery site). My guess is that he was retired in favor of the Hunter Base supporting characters. Can't tell you why Capcom thought it was a smart move at the time to replace his role with new characters so late considering X5 was supposed to be the last game in the series. I like to imagine he helped lead the efforts to migrate the humans underground. It's strange though, the series prepped him to be the 21XX equivalent of Light when he ended up being somewhat more of a Cossack who seemed like he should've been more but disappeared. I bet he'll reappear if and when there's an X9, X DiVE supposedly alluded to him still being around in some capacity.
