Here's my take: Although Operation Killdeer was put together to get the attention of the Fire King and the Darkness Queen by putting a number of their enemies together, pitting them off each other, and _killing them_, there was another target. Adrienne Hart, who had been having an affair with the Unspoken Name. Mr X, the mysterious figure who seems to have fallen off the map of the Secret War as right-hand man of the Unspoken Name, decided to X out Ms Hart in the midst of the battle to further the Ascended War. Hart: a male deer. Kill-deer. Decent theory?
