Are these sentences worded in the best manner?

Tiago soon decided to support Ravel, giving him the advantage over Berellip and Saribel, and also allowing him to rise above Brach'Thal in House Xorlarrin’s hierarchy. Ravel and the drow expedition quickly began the process of securing complete control of Gauntlgrym and reactivating the legendary forges of the city. Although he was greatly diminished in power, Brach'Thal had a major role in this since he was a master of controlling elementals.

cboutin3 Brach'Thal had a major role in this since he ?? had had a major role (if this position had continued since he was master) The confusion comes from two possible meanings of 'since': the starting point in time, or 'because'.
