It's unfortunate we'll likely never know what happened. Or why really... Why the ancient nords wanted to keep an underling of Alduin alive seems out of character. But the Paarthurnax mercy killing sounds legit. Even being immortal, there's no mention that Numinex died during Olaf's reign so he could've been imprisoned for god knows how long.

Had Alduin resurrected him, I could understand his animosity towards mortal kind.
