Miyazaki said that it was there only because they wanted the player to know when they saw one "Oh hey, I'm about to get an ember." Also, I believe it is Gwyn who locked him up. I find the "for his own good, of course." to be kind of sweet irony from FromSoft. Havel rebelled against Gwyn, so Gwyn locked up Havel "for his own good."
