ah well let#s see, it is strongly implied in "Fallen Angels" that Cypher is the last of the knights of lupus, selected by johnson to get the cypher title as keeper of the culture and of the history of old..

it is also known that the knights of lupus knew about the taint of caliban and were researching chaos and that Johnson had their library seized and stored somewhere after nearly wiping out that order.

hmm let#s see

why can the Lion not be trusted:

1. when he is found, he is already several years old, surviving in the northwilds, hundreds of miles away from any type of settlement in the most beast inested area of that planet. the beasts are chaos tainted predators, able to converse with people through psychic links and so on

, they are predators and he survived among them... rly? a toddler vs lions, giant worms and whatnot...

2. In "Pandorax" iot is made clear that one of the Fallen Angels is among the First Grey Knights Grandmasters.

3. he sends away loyal troops back to caliban without explanation and without reason (I mean they have a warrior culture over there to train enw aspirants, so why send a force of 500+ Astartes back to that planet to train neophytes and to let them "rot away", ignoring them for decades even though they could participate or at least help the legion.

4. he leaves knnown traitors (cough typhon, cough) alive.

5. arriving terribly late for tthe battle of terra aka: side with the victorious party
