There will be more info on Vax and the Matron of Ravens later in the series. Suffice it to say that the Matron of Ravens let Vex live in exchange for Vax taking up the mantle of her Champion. Also, the Matron isn't necessarily 'bad', she's the Goddess of Death which is something that has to come for everyone eventually. She's really more neutral than evil. Loving the reactions, looking forward to more!

Vex dying is totally Percy's fault. He goaded Vex into helping him with the sarcophagus ("Your brother certainly wouldn't approve") when Vax told them not to touch anything. It was more Percy saying, after Vax said he didn't want to hear it at that moment, that he didn't know that he'd do anything differently that triggered a well deserved sock in the jaw. You'll find out more about those golden threads later. I don't think it's a spoiler to point out that they look like the same ones from the opening credits. As you saw, the thread that previously connect Vax to Vex now looks to be attached to the Matron of Ravens. The armor belonged to the Champion of the Matron of Ravens, and after surrendering to fate/death (two of the Matron's domains) it seems like Vax has taken up that mantle.
