No real way to know. The catalyst to his doing that seems to be the rematch he wanted with us, since he had no love for the power of the empire, so maybe we never met there. Or maybe he didn't come back after death. Maybe Varis killed him instead of his killing Varis. Only thing we know for sure is things lined up in a way to let Black Rose be released.
