it’s time to let my theories for a walk. Actually we’ve know a lot from the spoiler frame.
The neckerchief. Most often it’s remembered because of dandy. But dandies were in the 19th century. And the flashback obviously happens much earlier. Neckerchiefs were also fashionable in the days of Louis XIV. He lived at the beginning of the 18th century. This is better for us. Shirt cuffs also look like 18th century shirt. All of these mostly worn by aristocratic people, so we can say that Lawless is probably from a noble family.
Btw this is also hinted at by his love for chatter, discussions and his whims (“ordinary” people didn’t have so much time for this). He and Hugh (I think he is from the nobility too) speak more than the rest.
Lawless, as we know, always chooses famous persons for contracts. If this happened at that time, I think any peasant would be uncomfortable in aristocratic society. Hedgehog doesn’t.
Then more. Unlike other servamps, Lawless cares about fashion (I’m not saying he is good at it). Of course this may be a new habit, but other siblings have nothing alike.
I think that dialogue takes place 10-40 years before the meeting with Ophelia, who apparently lived in the middle of the 18th century (we calculate, knowing that the meeting of servamps was 300 years ago). She was the fifth eve, and we can assume - at the flashback Lawless already had Eve(s). Maybe he’s the first who had.
I won’t be surprised if he says exactly this in the picture
UPD. Ok I’’m reading spoilers right now and HOLY SHIT ARE YOU SERIOUS? ITS SO SOOO!!! WHAAAT ok I’m obviously right in several ways.

Cale really is a thief. I mean, not only because he stole money left and right without even thinking, or even the divines itens, but because he stole alies too. Everything and everyone that Arm or the white star trow away, even the Bear tribe or the others kingdons, Cale take and use against them.
Oh look, a swordmaster and fake Holy maden from the church of the Sun God! You don’t want her? Ok, is mine then.
Isn’t it the flame dwarves who can made wings? I’ll take it.
Holy shit! Is this a dragon? Yeah is mine now.
The Bear tribe? Yeah I’ll take that too.
Oh the marcenaries? Why would you try to trow away them? Just need a little reformation.
Your dragon half-blood? You mean my dragon half-blood.
Vampires? Why not?
Oh you want that kingdom/Empire/city? Too bad!
This ancient Power you mean? Yeah, I find this first so its mine.
Cale just cannot not take what is from the white star or his enemies! It’s amazing! It’s not a coincidence that he took a thief!
Cale is like Robin Hood, except better.
Because he doesn’t just rob the evil rich people and give the money to the poor. No, no, no. This is what Cale does:
First, he scams the evil rich people to willingly give him money and equipment.
Then behind their backs, he uses those things to incite a rebellion to defeat those very same evil rich people.
Then he loots whatever those evil rich people have left in their possession and gives it to his allies.
And finally, he puts a better person in charge so there would be no more poor people due to extortion and oppression.
