Another theory (one that gets hate) is that yor was a warlock. Yes ik about the cloak, could have easily been taken as a trophy, same with his rose. Anyways the theory goes more or less the same only when jaren fires instead of firing in the air he kills yor, Yor self rez and shoots him.
Either theory is that yor had 1 of 2 motives. 1 was to corrupt shin by killing his mentor and taunting him to hunt him. Second is despite his corruption yor wanted to be stopped , so he crafted his demise by finding someone with a strong light and unwavering will to finish him off.
Both those theories would describe why yor both tainted and wondered if he'd given up during the dialogue before shins golden gun.
