What? Seriously? I thought he got away after trolling Evan by duping him into speeding up the Black Mage's revival.
Or does Evan actually have a mini-boss quest where he offs the bastard? Because, from what I recall, Dargoth takes you on instead of Hiver in Merc's storyline and ol' Hives is nowhere to be found after said encounter. Could it be that there's a small gap of inconsistency between Evan and Merc's story in that Evan's fight with Hiver happens not long after her encounter with Dargoth?
Then on that logic, if Mercedes offed Orchid before Demon Slayer found the Wingmaster's Diary and Phantom's encounter with Lotus and the shenanigans that happened with that, then it would explain the deaths for those guys. And as for Francis? The guy's a sneaky rat - he manages to avoid the Black Mage's wrath AND the Heroes' wrath more times than is appropriate for someone of his plot relevance tier.
At this point, we haven't seen any mention of him in ol' Lumi's story, have we? It's possible that one of the four heroes had to have offed him by this point in the story, if the Black Mage didn't do it himself (hell, Orchid may have just as well kicked him off a cliff in Edelstein - that'd do the job).
