o.k re thinking my comment. if hale is alive then he will be a boss, either final or very late. Or he will return near the end to help you with the final boss. (if he's say second last boss then when beaten he will return to the side of good and join your fight)

however i prefer to believe he is dead. It makes more sense and if he does return then i will be much happier.
