Hacet was present at the Battle of Tharsis, and approved of the Heavenly Mercy's plan. He witnessed the kidnapping (one of the only witnesses), but had bigger problems to deal with due to the unexpectedly fierce resistance, prioritizing saving the troops over saving the single noncom VIP.

He's been keeping tabs on the situation since, without interfering, because the Consort's disappearance is a convenient casus belli.
