It's not Havel. Both the description of Havel's armour and Havel's Ring suggests that the guy we fight in the Burg is one of Havel's Warriors, not Havel himself.
Havel's Ring
This ring was named after Havel the Rock,
Lord Gwyn's old battlefield compatriot.
Havel's men wore the ring to express faith in
their leader and to carry a heavier load.
Havel's Armor
Armor worn by Havel the Rock's warriors.
Carved from solid rock, its tremendous weight
is matched only by the defense it provides.
Havel's warriors never flinched nor retreated
from battle. Those unfortunate enough to face
them were inevitably beaten to a pulp.
As for why he's there, you need only look to the description of the key that opens the door to that tower:
Watchtower Basement Key
Key to the basement of the watchtower in
the Undead Burg.
The basement of the watchtower forms a stone
cell. There are rumors of a hero turned
Hollow who was locked away by a dear friend.
For his own good, of course.
As an old compatriot of Lord Gwyn, he most likely gained the Dragon Tooth by fighting the dragons alongside him, possibly ripping the tooth out with his own bare hands because he's Havel.
