We don’t know much about the man, except that at times someone was able to get close enough to put chains on him (“often bound with fetters and chains), which he continued to break.
Maybe being in the mountains he witnessed the storm that Jesus settled and that is why he was able to see (Jesus afar off) and ran to meet him as he got off the ship. Perhaps he cried out for deliverance.
A pastor’s wife was sharing a story about a woman who called and asked, “Is this the church that can cast out spirits?” Long story short, she came to a prayer meeting and when they begin to pray the spirit manifest itself. She was delivered and continued to live for God.
Her humanity cried out, the spirit tried to stop the deliverance. I suspect the same with the man from the tombs.
