Andor spoiler
I thought he'd end up either screwing the empire semi-intentionally or maybe defect or at least give some info to the rebellion out of despair and delusion. But the series is too realistic so he just dies a miserable death realising his arch enemy doesn't even know who he is. That's what's coming for the good little fascists!spoiler
Syril is the embodiment of middle class depoliticized white men who are delusional about their role in to maintain the empire. He does not believe in fascism (unlike Dedra, where fascism is literally the thing that raised her), because he can not see the fascism before him. He didnt not know who he was - he never truly did, he believed in abstract notions of "justice" and "order"- but even that the empire stole from him, which is why he overreacted so hard, if he was a "good little fascist" he would have stayed with Dedra and lived.But his love for dedra (fascism) ended his own life, after saving her twice unknowingly. The tragedy of empire is the erasure of what Syril "could have" been and even denial for syril to find fulfillment in creating true justice, true order and find a true family. And even though he jumped the fence at the end, it was too little, too late. Hating Andor was the only thing that made sense in his mind, the only thing that could restore his own personhood, but for Cassian it was just "another tuesdays". In the end Revolutions don't wait for you to make up your mind or for you to come around to realize you are the empire.
