Apparently his title would more accurately be Vito, Thorn in the Dusk Rose's Side.
Sounds like he probably was allied with her, or at least reverent of her and desperate to find her like the other vampires, but then when her message was more peaceful than he wanted, he's now revolting.
And re: Teferi, I think he joined the Gatewatch after defeating Bolas, didn't he? (The story/canon for GRN-RNA-WAR is a mess.)
In front of the Stronghold's broken doors, Gideon was giving Teferi the Gatewatch oath while Chandra stood by. Karn and Jaya had agreed to join the fight against Bolas, but hadn't agreed to take the oath. Karn because he meant to leave soon to continue his effort to destroy New Phyrexia, and Jaya because, as she had said, "I'm not a joiner."
"Liliana found herself driven to do the right thing"
Uuuuuuuh no, she made yet another completely self-motivated decision, it just so happened to conveniently align with what the heroes needed. 'Driven to do the right thing' my eye.
"This should have cost Liliana her life"
Yes. Yes it should have. But nah, I'm glad they tossed in a dumbass heroic sacrifice trope instead. For a second there the story almost had some emotional satisfaction.
Bolas roars in triumph as his magic billows in a steaming cloud around his hated foe, as his claws slice deep into his enemy's hotly beating hearts, as his teeth slash his rival's unprotected throat.
With a mighty splash, Ugin falls into the still waters. The impact resounds like thunder. Monstrous waves rise from the displacement and sweep across the craggy islets, crashing and destroying the ancient rocks. The disturbance washes far beyond the bounds of the Meditation Realm, spilling into the fathomless dark cavity whose infinite web connects the planes themselves. The sea empties, exposing the rock of the seabed like bones left to bleach in the sun.
Dragged by the sheer shocking force of the cataclysm, Bolas flares like a sun and vanishes, torn away to the plane of his birth, falling to the islands of Madara.
Where once the realm was filled with the silence of tranquility, now it is vacant. It has become a wilderness of rock, barren and wrecked, all its serenity drained away into the interstices of the blind eternities, a chasm that can never be filled.
Nothing moves because nothing remains.
A moment passes. A year. A generation.
A millennium.
Or maybe, no time at all.
A pale sheet of liquid trickles up as out of nowhere, returning from the unseen and untouchable web of darkness. With eerie silence, it inexorably rises, refilling the realm with its silvery waters. When the waters cease rising, they grow still, and in that still mirror waits the reflection of the dragon.
He inhales, pulling the waters into himself. They curl and froth into every crevice and wrinkle and scale and indentation until his horns sparkle and his claws gleam and his eyes shine with magic. Is he flesh and bone, or is he spirit and magic? Does it matter?
The dragon floats above the dry seabed beneath the luminous sky.
I mean, these are the same guys that decided that artifical beings created by plane-bound entities can suddenly have sparks of their own (see Calix or whatever his name is from Theros) despite the fact that that is literally not how it works.

You know if they only had explained that his spark was the remanents of Xenagos Spark that would have made sence too.

Jaya Ballard "helped" the Gatewatch, but Teferi was a member of the team.
The Vorthos community will await the consequences of the Eldrazi Titans' deaths/sealing. We will keep the watch.

He joined after defeating Belzenlok.
Nope, she's a burner!

"After the battle where his twin brother Nicol Bolas left him wounded"
NO. Bolas not only killed him, he virtually ripped him to pieces.
