Well, the story focuses on a solo player, not a PK player, so of course we won't have that much information about them. Quite a few facts about PK players were actually revealed in later novels, not the Aincrad arc. And there are a few facts that have yet to be revealed (TUSF spoiled me about unreleased content a bit).

Oh, and I didn't mention the crusade. In August 2024, the clearers banded together to stop the Laughing Coffin, as they had already killed over a hundred players. That month, one of the LC members (I know who, but that would be spoilers for unreleased content that may be changed) told the clearers about the location of the LC headquarters. However, the same member also alerted the LC members about the crusade... once it was too late too retreat, thus the LC ambushed the clearers and all hell broke loose. Both the clearers and the LC suffered heavy casualties, but the clearers managed to win and imprison most surviving LC members. PoH is the only known member to have avoided the battle (again, I know why, but spoilers). Kirito has also killed 2 people himself during this battle.
