More context is needed to understand exactly why "he'd" (= he would) is used. e. the past tense of "he will".

More context is needed to understand exactly why "he'd" (= he would) is used. From the context that I found online, it is apparent that it is future-in-the-past, i.e. the past tense of "he will".
