Deceased - WindStrike - 11-27-2012
This thread contains a list of all characters (NPCs or Villains) that have died throughout the course of ZURPG. Their original description will be included as well as the circumstances surrounding their deaths.
Garunoff was the previous Gerudo King, who reigned 110 years ago. He, like Ganondorf, sought to take over Hyrule. He even went as far as to lure Roc, Guardian of Wind to Gerudo Desert during as a sandstorm, so that he and his troops could kill Roc. Supposedly, Roc held the Triforce of Power, but when Garunoff tried claiming it from Roc, the mark of the Triforce of Power had disappeared completely.
Garunoff then tried to get the influence of the Royal Family, but they denied Garunoff of any trust. The King of the Royal Family at the time did not trust Gerudos, and he wasn’t about to let Garunoff try and take the throne, even by popular vote.
According to Rokan's Ghost - a member of the Royal Family - the Sheikah, who served the Royal Family, aided Garunoff. They persuaded members of the Royal Family, one by one, to help Garunoff. Rokan himself found out about this and tried telling the Royal Family, but they did not believe him. He was assassinated by Garunoff and the Sheikah. According to the soul of one of Garunoff's troops, this was a trap, as it proved to the Royal Family that the Sheikah really were helping Garunoff. It's possible the Sheikah intentionally aided Garunoff to his demise for this.
It’s unknown how Garunoff actually died though, as there was no record of him ever taking of Hyrule, or even the attempt of it. As far as everyone knows, the Sheikah were always loyal servants to the Royal Family, and they still are.
Rokan was a member of the Royal Family. He was murdered 110 years ago, by Garunoff with the aid of the Sheikah. His grave leads to the Old Shadow Temple, which used to be his domain, for he was an aid to Penumbra, Guardian of Shadows. After his ghost was reactivated, he found out that Garunoff died shortly after his own death, and he didn't take over Hyrule after all. As a result of how he died, Rokan has a deep hatred and distrust towards Sheikahs. He's fine with Kirran though, who has no knowledge of the history of the Sheikah and Garunoff.
Although Rokan is dead, he continues to live among his domain as a ghost. He is bound to the Old Shadow Temple and is unable to leave it, unless he passes on through the portal at the end.

Name: Kieran Notham.
Date of death: Early 13th season.
Cause of death: Blown up by a Bomb Arrow fired by Silvio.
Kieran was a very well known member of the Hyilian Knights, known for saving the lives of many travelers from various monsters and bandits on Hyrule Field and in Subrosia. He, accompanied by a team of other knights, even challenged Bloodwind at one stage and, while defeated, put up a considerable fight about a year ago. Since the battle, Kieran trained and trained in the hopes of defeating Bloodwind and claiming that 17,000 Rupees bounty on his head.
During his time of his heroism in saving people, he encountered the notorious assassin Silvio. Kieran managed to fight him off, by grabbing onto him using his Hookshot to cut his chest open with his sword. Silvio managed to survive and escape the battle thanks to his Holding On skill, failing to kill his target for the first time since his arrest in Holodrum.
Silvio was more fortunate in his second encounter, the encounter which he killed Kieran in. Silvio dodged the hookshot that got him on the first encounter and used the momentum to stun him with his boomerang, using the brief moment which he was stunned to fire a bomb arrow directly at his head. Kieran was killed instantly as his head was completely blown apart.
