Kubo introduced him as a Sternritter, so it would be strange if he isn't one after all. His appearance looks too customized for him to be a Soldat or lower ranked soldier. The only solution I see is that he forgot about him as he killed off Shaz in the very beginning.

Shaz didn't seem too strong though, as he was easily cut down. I guess he's dead as we haven't seen him since.
