My POV on Issaries/Hu of the Silences/Humakt enemity is that Issaries was defeated during the Lifebringers quest (later the Lightbringers quest) by an aspect of death that ultimately was defeated and destroyed by the success of the Lifebringers quest. That aspect was death as total destruction (i.e. no-one could communicate with the dead, even as ancestors). Now Humakt is concerned only with the act of separation and Issaries has taken on the mantle of psychopomp guiding the dead (i.e. Humakt is finished with them) to their correct destination.
