Hauser served as a police officer in his younger years, and befriended Alcatraz Deputy Warden E.B. Tiller.
During that time he also met Dr. Lucille Sengupta when he oversaw the transfer of Paxton Petty. Hauser and Sengupta worked on locating Petty's bombs through a Korean Lullaby. They also went to dinner together. ("Paxton Petty")
He was one of the two police officers who, while on a transfer visit to Alcatraz, discovered the empty prison following the disappearance of the 302 inmates and guards on March 20, 1963.
After the discovery of the missing prisoners and guards, Alcatraz closed the next day, March 21, 1963. The truth was covered up by the government and for the next 48 years, it remained undiscovered. ("Pilot")
1963-2011[]
After the disappearance, Hauser joined the United States government, anticipating the return of the guards and inmates. Over the years, Hauser rose to a leading position in the government, and became the head of the Alcatraz Task Force.
The task force soon began building an underground base under the prison, and recreating Alcatraz's facilities in an unknown forest. ("Pilot")

Jack Sylvane, an Alcatraz inmate reappeared. Not long after, E.B. Tiller was found dead. Detective Rebecca Madsen was investigating the crime scene when Emerson arrived and took over.

With the help of Detective Madsen and Soto, Jack Sylvane was found after kidnapping his brother and visiting his ex-wife's grave. Attempting to force Madsen to kill him, he was shot and wounded by an officer, but survived. He was taken into custody by Emerson and was imprisoned in the Second Alcatraz Prison in California. After entering, Emerson headbutted Jack, telling him that E.B. Tiller was his friend and had him put in his cell, telling him that he wouldn't be lonely for long.("Pilot")
