It's understandable why a former slave would be interested in the brotherhood what with the whole supporting freedom thing. Not to mention he looks a complete and utter badass in that assassin gear. I think the stuff about his past could just be to set the scene, according to the description the actual DLC seems to be 15 years after he meets Ed. Not read the book myself, anyone who has know if Edward was still alive by this point?
