Hacker was partnered with Matt Bluestone during his days in the FBI. Bluestone was a conspiracy theorist who sought to find the Illuminati Society, Hacker's mission being to make sure Bluestone's searches would only lead to dead ends. Matt was eventually fired from FBI, something the Illuminati may have arranged to limit his resources.
Bluestone continued to contact Hacker for new leads on the Illuminati, but Hacker kept ensuring that all of Matt's attempts would prove futile. At some point, Bluestone correctly deduced that the aged gangster Mace Malone was a member of the society. During Matt's first attempt to locate Malone, Hacker gave him information that only led to him almost being killed by Tony and Dominic Dracon unsuccessfully searching for Malone's hidden stash of jewels.[1] When Matt later made contact with Malone's stepson Jack Dane, Hacker allowed him to follow the lead, seeing as Dane had not actually met Malone in decades. Hacker proved wrong when Dane was able to give Matt information that led to him finding Malone and being offered a place within the Illuminati Society in exchange for bringing them a gargoyle.[2]
Matt did indeed bring Mace a gargoyle to the Hotel Cabal, but later betrayed Mace and rescued the gargoyle, leaving Mace to die within the Hotel. Since the Illuminati made no attempt to rescue Mace, Hacker was sent to grant Matt his place within the Illuminati, seemingly unaware of Matt's betrayal. Matt was enraged when Hacker revealed to him that he had deceived him for as long as they had known each other.[2]
When the Manhattan Clan's existence was revealed to the world, Hacker was made a member of the Gargoyle Task Force as the federal liaison. While in the force, he informed Matt that he agreed with him that the world was not ready for an inter-species confrontation between humans and gargoyles. However, he later informed other members of the society, David Xanatos, that the Illuminati approved of his plans to slowly expose the gargoyles; and John Castaway, that the Illuminati shared his desire to destroy the gargoyles, leaving the Society's real intentions a mystery.[3]
