Havel is dead and we killed him. Here's why: The warrior wearing Havel's armor attacks you on sight without attempting to reason with you, which leads me to believe that he's gone hollow. If that warrior is indeed Havel, who was a great hero and a bishop, then the description on the tower key reading that he was "locked up" "for his own good, of course" could actually be sincere and honest, as the Lords would be deeply saddened by his descent into madness and would not want to disgrace one of their greatest heroes and servants by killing him; so, holding on to hope that one day a cure for the undead curse could be found, they sealed him away in order to preserve his life. In addition, if Havel was revered by the Lords, that explains the high price his armor, ring, and weapon fetches when sold to allies of the Lords, on top of the fact that they are unique in all the world. I'm also pretty sure that the description of the armor that guy in the tower was wearing says that Havel's armor was unique to Havel himself and that nobody else could wear it but him due to its weight. As for the armor being in Anor Londo, the flow of time in Lordran is convoluted; on top of that, you cannot have gotten to Anor Londo without confronting Havel and most players kill him for his ring. An agent of the Lords might have found his corpse after you killed him and taken his armor to Anor Londo to be stored away along with other precious/dangerous artifacts. The fact that somebody bothered to journey all the way to Anor Londo while carrying Havel's heavy armor just to preserve it leads me to believe that he was an important person who was greatly honored, possibly even enough so that his armor was stored so the Chosen Undead could use it someday on the Lords' Errand.
