He was shown by the 31st century's Section 31 as having been an interloper from the Kelvin timeline. So in this, it's safe to assume he is the one that sends Kirk to the Kelvin timeline to see Spock's dying moment, which we only "heard" about in Star Trek: Beyond.
Between Project Phoenix from Picard season 3 with Kirk's body, Gary Mitchell, Saavik, there's a lot of deep cuts here. Obviously, it introduces as many questions as it answers. My basic understanding of it:
* Kirk is resurrected via Project Phoenix. Possibly Saavik and her son with Spock have some role in this.
* Gary Mitchell plays some role in manipulating events. It's not clear to what end. Maybe he "nudges" the "demon" interloper from the Kelvin timeline to go and help Kirk get where he needs to go.
* The "demon" Starfleet agent from the Kelvin timeline sends Kirk to the Kelvin timeline at the moment of Spock's death in Star Trek: Beyond. Along the way he sees earlier versions of himself.
The obvious question then becomes... how does Kirk go back? Or is he stuck in Kelvin at the end of Beyond now?
