[[File:Governor-105 posing in The Resurrection of the Wellsians.png|thumb|right|Governor-105 posing for yet another portrait shortly before his death. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Resurrection of the Wellsians (short story)|The Resurrection of the Wellsians]]'')]]Later, when, despite Mandragora's best efforts, the Problem-Solvers had found out about the Great Experiment, they returned to the throne room to find Governor in the midst of having yet another portrait of himself painted by [[Paintbrush-122]]. Dismissing the artist, Governor casually revealed to them that Mandragora was acting on his authority and shooed them out of the throne room, having told them that the Experiment was too far in for them to do anything about it now. Indeed, a short while later, Mandragora successfully resurrected the six Wellsians under his care. Taking [[Mizrax ag-Ustis|one]], armed with a [[Heat Ray]], with him, Mandragora joined the Governor, and the three confronted the Problem-Solvers in the communications room, which they had finally realised was empty. As Mandragora and Governor launched into shared gloating about their world-conquering plans, they were beset by Dactylopius, flanked by the rebellion's [[Retsha sog-Wampyr|own Wellsian]]. A standoff ensued, broken when Mandragora ordered his Wellsian to shoot the Governor instead of Dactylopius or his Wellsian. Gleefully obeying, since this fit in with the Wellsians' plans as much as Mandragora's, the Wellsian used its Heat Ray to shoot a hole clean through Governor-105, disintegrating his [[Gemstone Heart]] and thus killing him instantly.

Governor received a posthumous entry in the Cupids' [[Book of Evil]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Book of Evil (short story)|The Book of Evil]]'') [[Paintbrush-122]]'s prior position as his portraitist was also mentioned in [[Incident Report]] C248B, which described Paintbrush's activities after returning to the [[Cupid Homeworld]]; having been recruited by the [[Department of Entertainment]] to paint monster designs for ''[[The Rainbow Adventures]]'', Paintbrush reportedly relished the chance to “draw actual monsters he was allowed to make look monstrous” after “years never being asked to paint anything more than stuffy vanity projects for the Governor of Morningstar 1”.

Meanwhile, Governor-105's [[soul]] became a [[ghost]]. Winding up in the [[Spirit Realm]], he was one of the souls upon whom judgment was passed by [[Ghost Lord|the “mysterious invaders”]], who forced him to wear [[Jacob Marley|Marleyesque]] “chains he'd forged in life”, made up of “medals and awards, and statues and paintings of himself”. Like the twenty-odd other Cupid ghosts in existence, he materialised in the [[Cupid Homeworld]] in the night of [[Festival of Giving|December 24th to December 25th, 2019]], and attempted to make himself known to [[Pythagoras-858]], but Pythe did not perceive his presence. [[Philatel-426]] briefly glimpsed this out the door of [[Philatel-426's house|his house]] immediately after his encounter with the ghost of [[Mailbag-431]]. The ex-Governor may have been trying to warn Pythe about ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol (short story)|A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol]]'') [[Mandragora-257]]'s resurrection.
