Bestial. They want to make their relationship look like one of mere sexual pleasure, such as beasts might have. That is why the expression "making the beast with two backs."

How did Othello die?
Desdemona is killed by Othello, Iago kills Emilia (his wife) as Emilia reveals that Desdemona has been falsely accused of adultery and then Othello kills himself rather than live with what he has done. In Act V, Cassio kills Roderigo after Roderigo attempts to stab Cassio (he wants Cassio dead so that he can keep Othello and Desdemona from leaving the country, and get closer to Desdemona, whom he loves from afar). Unfortunately, instead of Roderigo's sword penetrating Cassio's flesh, he finds that Cassio has armor on, and stabs Roderigo back.

Roderigo is starting to catch on, so Iago feeds him the same line about Cassio and Desdemona having an affair and sets Roderigo on to murder Cassio. His objective is to get rid of both of them. Roderigo does stab Cassio, who Iago takes for dead, so Iago kills Roderigo himself.
