Hehe, you don't like bootstrap paradoxes? :-)
Well, even without it, an entity like Durandal is really only immortal until an accident occurs. So it's not implausible to figure that in a multiple universe-length lifetime, he's eventually going to screw up and get blown up/destroyed/disabled/whatever. Or that, eventually, he'd figure that he'd finally lived a long enough life and just let the universe collapse.
