For an actual theory, it's more likely that he, like most indies, saw K'Hara online and beelined toward them from wherever he was. It's particularly common for indies to search for and group up with the nearest K'Hara, which usually leads to many people invading and being unhelpful or downright ooc in my RP, or dying instantly in a group fight. Catching you at the jump hole is probably a matter of unfortunate luck, and it could have been incredibly possible for him to have come through the jump hole before you had reached it, engaging you there instead.
Other theories include:
The indie was watching the playerlist, saw a K'Hara and another name moving across systems, inferred the situation and path that would be taken and moved to intercept.
The indie was doing something entirely different (i.e. heading back to the lair after mission farming), saw red and engaged.
The indie was already hunting you, and didn't know and/or care that K'Hara was in the same place.
People in the faction don't even run untagged ships because untagged ships don't get K'Hara ID's and infinite cloak. We don't have nymphs right now, and Neonates can use all the ships but the battleships with the ID. No one in the faction would run an untagged GB for the purpose of trader hunting when they can run infinite cloak for much better trader hunting at no additional cost. Unless, of course, this ship you encountered had a K'Hara ID and no tag, in which case give me the shipname so that I can bring the divine wrath of Allah upon them and their sons for 77 generations.
I'll do something about my superiority complex when I cease to be superior.
