The only lore about him is that he is a Necromancer that stole the "power of the Gravelord" and he reins over the catacombs. It can be assumed that what he stole from Nito was the Rite of Kindling.

I personally think that Pinwheel was just one of the many servants you find in TotGs guarding Nito's chamber, but went rouge and stole the Rite of Kindling from him. He likely then fled to the Catacombs where he sent up shop and pretended like he could be Nito too and rule over his little cave kingdom. But that's just my speculation of course.
