I had this idea that in the 70s he was a "picker", a not-quite agent who's job is to identify artifacts and inform the Warehouse. Writer on the side, nat. When he started getting into heavy drugs the Warehouse made the executive decision to let him go and used Michael Ende's Volume to make him forget all of the secret government stuff. Side effect: a lot of the artifacts he found for the Warehouse stuck in his head an became the inspirations for some of his stories.

There's something to be done about his bed as well, which is semi-canon. Perhaps him accidently making it into an artifact contributed to his dismissal.
