those reasons are good, but i feel as if they can be explained:

1. If he was an ex-hunter, which is possible seeing as Gerard is still a hunter. For him to help scott would be against everything the HUNTERS stand for, which is why he is an ex-hunter. I sort of think he may have quit around the time of the hale fire. I mean, if that was the reason he quit, it is a really good reason, I mean burning a family of innocent adults and children alive is a pretty heavy thing to have on your consiousness. So for him to help scott (who is allied with Derek) would almost be a sort of an apology for killing so many innocent people.

2. I think he said he wasnt retired so he wouldn't get attacked or arise suspicion of the other hunters. Especially when the four huge people in the room who could most likely overpower him all hate werewolves.
