Well, the last thing is not a posibility, the Snarl can't get free if the gate is still there, abd if the gate is destroyed they banish, so apparently Snarl can't do anything to them.

But yeah, the martyr thing could be just "the sacrifice of being a guardian after death" but if you can die peacefully of old age and then still be called a martyr is... Far less dramatic XD
