We know there are supposed to be 16 vice admirals at any given time, so Maynard's presence most likely means someone else (my guess is Tsuru) left the Marines. Since no one dies that easily, I'm going to say that Kadar stayed in his place. Like Maynard, the only thing we've seen him do is get beaten to a bloody pulp, so you can't really say anything certain about his overall abilities.
