Contrary to KoS (and I've had Greg point this out), Harsaltar did not kill the Red Emperor or even his then manifestation.

Because he was a militaristic Emperor and fighting in battles was his idea of how an Emperor should act.

She felt responsible for the Emperor's wounding (G:IttHW p105 - In my draft, I wrote that she was disgraced as a result).
