He is then [[MoreExpendableThanYou knocked unconscious from behind]] by Skurge the Executioner, a long-time villain who has finally realized how foolish much of his life has been.

Hela did try to keep Skurge in Hel, but realized that his act of heroism made his soul "too bright" for that dismal realm.
