So with what we know now... The reply above me gets it mostly right. There are a few overlooked facts, though.

There are plenty of hints that the Tenno had a hand in the downfall of the Orokin empire, after the  end of the Old War.

Dax are Orokin soldiers, bound to absolute obedience. They don't have Warframes or Void powers but are still quite formidable due to the advanced technology of the Orokin, where technology and biology mix almost seamlessly.

The Lotus hid the moon, rather than destroying the Tenno. But this was after or during the downfall of the Orokin, as Transference and Warframes were all inventions of the Orokin to combat the Sentients during the Old War. This is important because it gives context to when all this was going on.

With all this as context we can infer that The Beast of Bones was a mercenary serving the Orokin empire during it's height, before the old war when the Orokin were so above the other factions they were seen as gods, and was turned into a cephalon near it's beginning. Ballas created Ordis and installed him as a ship Cephalon of the players Orbiter around the time they were put into the second dream and transferance to combat the sentient threat. Or so we can assume.

Then after the downfall, The Lotus hid the Tenno away and put them to sleep. Leaving Ordis alone, awaiting your return. That's when he starts seeking out his old memories, knowing the Orokin can no longer monitor him. And as said, the distress almost causes him to self destruct, his love for the operator the only thing that stops him from doing so.

He's also not there to spy on you, but to support you. The "Spy inside" he's talking about would be the supervision of the Orokin ensuring that the Cephalon acted according to it's task and didn't recover it's old memmories.
