The mysterious man Kino killed

The book told me really nothing about him, but from what he did, he is evidence for a point: Money is the root of all evil and causes greed, hatred, and inequality. We know him for doing only one thing: Trying to steal the pearl and dying for it. He tried to steal Kino's pearl, searching through his hut and eventually burning the hut. This action was obviously driven by hatred, and the man was driven by greed very strongly. He paid for his actions with his life.
