The Beast Tamer was caught by surprise by some manner of psionic, shapechanging entity. They initially fired a scraplock off on him from behind, which caught him in the head. During their battle, it utilized a piercing psionic force, alongside a weapon that afflicted a heavy amount of Fray toward the end - most likely a sword. When he died, the assailant soon took his soul, which halted the progression of the Fray. It tore out his flight feathers and severed his tongue, in order to clearly send a message. Remnants of gray, slimy skin were also found on the body, indicating that he not only went down fighting, but that he managed to injure the assassin.

During a scry, several things were discovered about our culprit: A motif of hundreds of theatre masks, and many, many asking voices. A song in an unknown language, uplifting, though wrong.
