Following his wife Garnet's self-sacrificial false confession to treason, Roygar is overwhelmed by guilt, grief, and the resurfacing of past trauma related to witnessing the execution of family members. Believing he has lost everything, Roygar takes his own life. His suicide is carried out with a pistol previously gifted to him by his rival, Cedric Ebron. This act is interpreted as a final, desperate measure to protect his family; by confessing to the treason in a suicide note, he absolves them of guilt. The event is steeped in tragic irony, as Garnet is still alive in captivity, rendering both her sacrifice and his subsequent death a devastating miscalculation.
