Meh, he can get better. If anyone remembers their Gruenwald "Quasar" run, a goodly chunk of the Watchers decide to off themselves because of a sort of cult belief which believes they may be contributing to a cosmic-macro-version of "observation can influence events". Quasar talks them out of it, and the dead Watchers decide to come back to life because death doesn't quite work for the Watchers the way it does for mortals.
