Celestial Being must have other reasons for picking him to be Lockon's replacement.). Furthermore, he is loyal to Kataron and we'll see most likely isn't going to be 100% devoted to Celestial Being which may cause some conflict in the future.
He might have plenty of experience with mobile suits. He just can't reveal that because not everybody has a mobile suit in his garage, and thus having experience would require explanations. Explanations he can't give as long as he wants to keep his Kataron connection a secret. Fortunately he looks and sounds just like his predecessor, so people will just think: It must be genetic!
