I was reading this, and I thought.... Tylendel! IIRC, he has a twin bond with Staven, a lifebond with Van, and a companion bond with Gala. Twinbond snapped, and Lendel needed the support of Van and Gala. they kept him alive, but because Van was the follower, he couldn't keep Lendel balanced enough, so the whole gating incident occured, which caused him to lose the companion bond too, so after losing two bonds, the lifebond wasn't enopugh to keep him alive. any other thoughts?
