Like I said, this is mostly based on vibes and how plot structure, especially in Takahashi shows, go.

Them dropping the 1000 years bit so early and without much fanfare kinda points at them doing a bit more with this and if they will invest into expanding that some more, they will definitely add to it in some way. I personaly just get the vibe that it will be a twist and not just driving home how awful Sieg is.

In general, the truly evil characters without basically any redeeming qualities usually show up close to the end of his shows, at most in the last 3rd. Aka, Cronos, Ark or Suel. All other antagonists are humanized in some way shape or form.

My current prediction on the little bit of info we got about him in these two episodes and a lot of just vibes:

He's not exactly framed by CODE, but he was part of some sort of dream experiment, perhaps one of the inciting incidents of the show to be narratively efficent, where a large number of people died. He was used as the scapegoat so CODE could pressure him into further experiments because he seems to be at least similar to Baku with the fact his main Capsem seems to work similarly to Baku's Catastrom.

His inclusion as Agent 1 feels very strange, and the fact that Zero completely ignores Agent 2's objections does indicate he is there for a reason.

I assume the original experiment emotionally broke him, letting him embrace the nightmare to hide within it and so his current personality was formed. One thing that could work for that is the fact he spins the Capsem the wrong way, so instead of breaking out of the ground, it retreats into it, aka, he's retreating into himself. Could work as a turning point for the character when he confronts that part of himself and uses it the right way round so the dragon can finally break out of his shell.

But like I said, that is all mostly vibes and guesses based on how stuff like this often goes.
