He seems to be the collector for every magical oddment on Dragaera. Spellbreaker, the staff with Aliera, etc. Presumably it becomes known that he is a collector of such things in the relevant circles. (The relevant circles being "other collectors" and "high-end fences" -- there can't be *that* many people to whom you can resell a stolen magical Artifact).
