I think they might be doing it for character introduction.
Usually, you only saw new characters in quests, or when they released a lore/story (like The Coat Thief, or the story about A.R.M.S.)
Now, he's appeared in game, gave a story about himself. They can always pop him in later with some update event "Ya'rr. I've sailed about and investigated. Now I've run into more problems. I need more Doubloons to shake the tongues of some others ... but I can't say who."
Odds are, he appears in the Pirate Finale siding with the Pirates & Player against Rabid Jack and whoever Jack is working for.
Maybe doing something like the Pirates of the Caribbean: World's End. The Pirates are facing down Rabid Jack and about to fight him (or are losing the battle), Deathbeard arrives at the last moment turning his guns on Rabid Jack, and the 2 ships catch The Albatross in a crossfire.
