From the scripts I've read it didn't seem to be Michael's twin who was the hermit that found him, it seems it was just some skinny guy who had occult items such as an Egyptian Spell Book or something of that matter, and he brought Michael back by the power of tattooing the Thorn rune to his wrist, chanting a spell and having some stone swinging above Michael, the idea of Michael's twin was a little bit later on I'm sure cause the scenes with the man in black where filmed much later on, remember the script was never completed, read the first available script the ending is literally half a page of just Ben meeker's view in the police station explaining there's been an explosion and Michael has escaped and that's it.
I think when the original opening was re-shot for the hermit with the parrot, they decided they needed some kind of cliffhanger to continue on with since they had taken out the resurrection of Michael but still showed the thorn symbol on his wrist, thus his twin brother was implied, Don Shanks has said before that they shot footage that would have explained this in H6 had Dominique directed it.
