Seems to be the trend Hiro is. Either incredibly convenient to the plot, or incredibly irrelevent for the sake of padding out the Arc. MAYBE you'll get a more memorable character who will eventually degrade into a lunatic (in Eileen's case, a complete sadist) or is butchered by one of the mains (poor Jacob...). Given what Hiro's been doing as of late, I can only guess what he's up to now, it just gets creepier and more predictable as we go...
