However, when the time came for him to prove his loyalty, he sacrificed himself as the one Son to lose their life to make up for the death of Damon Pope's daughter.
It was brutal. Opie was locked in a room, outnumbered by prisoners and guards, and even though he had a weapon and gave a good account of himself, he was ultimately overwhelmed. His life was ended by a sickening shot to the back of the head with a pipe.
