Sorry, thats wrong. It is stated several times in the story that you need a soul to "feed" to the dark in order to receive the rood inverse. When Sydney died, his soul was used, just as Romeo killed Samantha to get it.

You are right about this one, I just wanted to add something, a personal musing, I believe that Ashley received the rood inverse after killing that family. At least that was the impression that I got, and how I knew that Ashley had killed them.

What was meant in the question was did Sydney intend Ashley to cut the blood-sin from his back as Romeo did. I don't know if he knew that Ashley aready had a blood sin or not, but it would seem that if he did not, he would have had Ashley cut his off.
