Okay, whether or not this Fallen actually dies in Myth II is up in the air, correct? It's my belief that he does not die, but actually lives, for two reasons.
Firstly, Myrdred is never mentioned as having died. This isn't a strong point in my theory because he is never mentioned as NOT dying, meaning he might actually have died after killing Shiver. I'm just saying that with no clear clarification on his fate in the journal or epilogue, it can't really be determined.
Secondly, when Myrdred kills Shiver, he does so at close range. Shiver "explodes" when she dies. Perhaps her body was designed to explode on this level simply because it would detour the player from actually trying to kill her before the end of the level "Shiver" (if that's possible, I've never tried). I once played the level, and the big D killed Shiver and SURVIVED her combustion. An error in the tags, or perhaps something in the physics that screwed up like a strong gust of wind or something? I'm not sure, but this proves (whether you believe it or not) that the big D does not always die on the level. It is very much possible that he lives to fight another day.
If he actually does die, he may have the ability to transfer his mind to another body (like the Agents in the Matrix), and he might have done this just before he died. It's possible, since he can bend other to his will, no? He could have possesed one of the heroes and actually delivered one of the killing blows to Soulblighter's army at Tharsis (not in the actual game -- but the storyline of the game itself). This is completely stupid, but I'm just saying it could happen =)
Anyway, what do you think? Flameth me if thou mustus!
