The only "information" we have about him is that Peach is his daughter. He also only exists in the US version of the manual, so even if he is canon, he most likely died before or during SMB1, which would explain his complete absence afterwards.
It was unexplained how it happened back then, but when they introduced Kamek they made him able to turn people into blocks as to explain Mario 1 retroactively

Didn't it also say that Bowser turned the Toads into fucking cubes or some nightmarish shit like that?
Yes that's canon, Kamek did that
Didn't know Kamek was even a concept that early on. Thought his debut was Yoshi's Island.
