What Should Be Evil Alexander's Fate?

As I work on my next chapter, I need to decide on Evil Alexander's Fate. The Villain of this Arc is Alexander Goth's Evil Doppleganger. He's also a very powerful spellcaster.
For Evil Alexander, he thinks of merfolk as slimy, scaley, and ugly creatures and becomes tense in their presence. Those scales, fish slime, and just gross! Merfolk make Evil Alexander's skin crawl.
But, he has a fate that hasn't been decided yet. There are three possibilities!
Alexander Becomes the Thing He Despises after Getting Davy Jones' Curse:
He will live out the rest of his days serving Damion and doing his bidding.
Damion Enforces Consequences and Casts Davy Jones' Curse on Evil Alexander
Evil Alexander remains a powerful spellcaster, but he's transformed into a monster from the deep sea. He will live out the rest of his days serving Damion and doing his bidding.
Damion Sends Alexander to Davy Jones' Locker
Uses a potion that increases the risk of drowning on Evil Alexander and orders Ukupanipo to lure him into the sea with a Siren's Song. Evil Alexander dies from drowning.

If he ends up getting sent to Davy Jones’ Locker. I won’t worry about his appearance.
Davy Jones's locker is a metaphor for the oceanic abyss, the final resting place of drowned sailors and travellers. It is a euphemism for drowning or shipwrecks in which the sailors' and ships' remains are consigned to the depths of the ocean (to be sent to Davy Jones' Locker).

“Davy Jones's locker is a metaphor for the oceanic abyss, the final resting place of drowned sailors and travellers. It is a euphemism for drowning or shipwrecks in which the sailors' and ships' remains are consigned to the depths of the ocean.”
From Wikipedia but a good enough summary of the place.
As for who Davy Jones is, he’s often a malevolent spirit of the sea that is similar to a Devil of the Sea. Stories were spread about him long before anything was written down. There isn’t a clear origin for him. Sailors and Pirates had a tendency to not talk about him because of old superstitions. I guess the combination of tales told by word of mouth instead of getting written down has made exactly who he is a bit of a mystery.
The Duppy in Bantu Mythology seems to pop up across multiple sources. It’s possible that this spirit influenced the depictions of Davy Jones.
If you really want to have an idea of just how dark and creepy this place might be. Look up “Abyssal Plain” or “Deep Sea.”
Aside from the deep sea having a number of strange creatures, it’s also a dark place without any sunlight. Life in these depths can usually be found scavenging on the remains of large sea creatures or around volcanic vents. The environment is a very harsh place.
I am using it in my story to refer to a kind of purgatory for souls lost at sea and the dwelling place of the most dangerous sea monsters. The Souls lost to Davy Jones Locker would likely wander in the eternally dark depths with nothing but miles of sand beneath the ocean. They would never see the light of day. They’d just wander endlessly in the dark, occasionally finding a sunken shipwreck or the remains of large sea creatures.
It’s a place of death, darkness, sea monsters, and where the souls of those who drown gather. These things are pretty close to what you might actually find in an abyssal plain too. So, I am using real and observable conditions in the sea to inform my depiction of the place.
Island Living focuses a lot on the Tropical Environments found in the ocean. It does a lot to represent Pacific Cultures and depicts a biome most people know about.
The things that it lacks is all the other ocean environments that also influence Tales of the Sea and Ocean Mythology. The largest abyssal plain on the planet is in the Pacific Ocean, but when you play in Sulani, you’d never know it.
Oh, I misinterpreted what you meant by that answer. I think he should be sentenced to life as a merman! The thing he despises.

That’s what I meant.
Spinning Plumbob has a mod that lets sims declare an occult preference. Evil Alexander Dislikes Merfolk and will probably get negative moodlets from being turned into a merman with Davy Jones’ Curse. He can also wallow in self-loathing if he is a merman. It’s one of the interactions that come with the occult preference mod.
Also, the green, skin, foggy eyes, fish ears, barnacles growing on his skin, the green fumes around his body, shark teeth, webbed hands, and gills on his neck is the Davy Jone’ Curse from the Expanded Mermaid Mod. That Curse will be permanent when Damion Enforces Consequences.
Regardless of whether he’s sent to Davy Jones’ Locker or gets Davy Jones’ Curse, I had 3 different possibilities that will affect the good Alexander.
—————————
A Few Extra Details:
Evil Alexander is most definitely going to get Davy Jones’ Curse, but his life state is the most variable thing that makes different things possible for Good Alexander.
Option 1: Evil Alexander Becomes a Cursed Merman
Option 2: Evil Alexander Becomes a Cursed Spellcaster
Option 3: Evil Alexander Becomes a Cursed Ghost
Originally, Evil Alexander was a Spirit that crawled his way out of Davy Jones’ Locker using his connection to Good Alexander.
He’s Currently a powerful Spellcaster in the story.
His final fate kinda is a divide between becoming a Merman, remaining a Spellcaster, or becoming a Ghost… each situation comes with different gameplay mechanics and that’s why each situation will affect the Good Alexander differently.
Good Alexander was reborn as a merman thanks to Arihi’s help. Arihi Zalrian and Calum Zalrian, a mermaid and merman themselves, adopted Alexander Goth after he started his new life as a merman.
Arihi and Calum told their adopted son that he was originally human. However, Calum and Arihi can’t tell him about the Goth Family because they don’t know his human family. The Good Alexander Goth also doesn’t remember his human life because those memories remain with Evil Alexander.
Currently, Good Alexander Goth is the step-son of Arihi and Calum and the older step-brother of the twins, Dylan and Zephyr. Good Alexander Zalrian will permanently be a merman. So, his life state isn’t going to change ever.
Evil Alexander Goth is a shadow of Good Alexander Goth. As I continue to think about the future of my story, I do feel like there is an untold mystery about Alexander’s Past that might require Evil Alexander to remain in the story after his defeat. I mean, a soul doesn’t just get ripped into two halves, good and evil, without a reason.
Edit: I did change the last names of both Alexanders in my game.
Evil Alexander is named Alexander Goth because he’s the one connected to Alexander’s Human Past.
Good Alexander is named Alexander Zalrian, or referred to as Alex, because he’s living a new mermadic life with a new family.
@SERVERFRA Does seem pretty poetic to be turned into the thing you dislike most, doesn’t it?

For everyone else, here are a few more details about the story so far!
Story Screenshot Summary
Extra: Alexander Zalrian's Relationship with Ember Pel'Ana so Far
Thought I'd group a few screenshots related to Alexander's Relationship with Ember. No text. It's just the best moments involving Alexander and Ember. I really think it's kinda amazing how much Alex was able to do without ever saying a word to Ember. It hasn’t been a long relationship, but the two of them have been through quite a bit. I look forward to writing their happy ending for this arc.
