I currently suspect that it is a mistranslation/misunderstanding with respect to Troll's normal Funeral arrangements where the Karg's Son normally takes the primary role. Thus he is not expected to kill his relatives, but he is expected to officiate at, or at least take part in all their funerals should they die
