So far Marde seemed very aware of the things happening within Cube/Plutogrim and he can communicate telepathically. For me that means that he has the means to both know Jackal and Lucy's situation and instruct Jackal accordingly.

That he wouldn't have told Jackal to take Lucy hostage prior to the CSK appearing and smashing Pluto to pieces is hardly surprising.
