Wandering around a free port full of pirates - there is bound to be some information here. Looks like Erraz started with the local job boards - maybe some less than savvy characters might need some muscle or something to help out. That were-form of his certainly comes in handy in that respect - He's much larger and more imposing at that point, a perfect candidate for such a job. Think of it as a way to hide in plain sight.. A way to go undercover. Not many would suspect him of being what he is, but that's just part of the many advantages that he has.

Also trying out a new armor design - seemed more fitting for him since he shifts his forms around a lot.
