artifact:

Judge and Jury

A matched pair of pistols, each appearing to be scorched and blackened versions of a western revolver. When fired they 'glow' with a dark fire that actually seems to take light away from their surroundings.

each pistol counts as a +4 pistol. each time the gun is fired, a new round magically appears in the chamber, removing the need for reloading and eliminating the chance of a misfire.

once per day, the user can use a move action to speak the name of a specific enemy within line of sight. the next bullet fired at that enemy gains the benefits of Greater Named Bullet, CL 20

background:

5+ background concepts

Jonah was not born, he was created. Someone somewhere used the Ring of Equilibrium upon their death. The person had good intentions but was only out for themselves. Jonah is in every way his opposite. The original hunts undead for a living, so the being the ring created is itself undead.

While he is undead and evil by nature, Jonah also has a strict code. He believes he is an abomination that should never have been created.

He is aware of The Original, and knows that once the man realized he would come back to life he stopped being as careful. The man has died dozens of times, and each time spawns another undead abomination somewhere in the multiverse.

Aware of this, Jonah has pledged to hunt down and destroy every duplicate, then The Original, then destroy himself to finally end the cycle. He has gotten very good at killing, especially at killing undead.

Being an evil creature, Jonah has no reservations about using everything at his disposal. he combines dark magic (shadow sorcery mostly) with the single-minded determination of an inquisitor, and a pair of magical pistols to be the ultimate undead hunter.

He has killed plenty of other people, many of them good people who were hunting him because of his status as a powerful undead. He regrets killing them, but not enough to stop his hunt. This trail of bodies is likely how he was captured by the forces putting these suicide squads together, and his expertise in killing undead makes him valuable.

2 goals

His over-riding goal, first above all else, is to track down and kill The Original.

He fought The Original once, but realized the futility of the fight when the man would just come back to life again. His second goal is to discover the exact conditions needed to destroy the artifact that keeps The Original coming back

2 secrets (one unknown to Jonah)

Jonah doesn't really want to die. He has gotten too used to his power. Even though he still tells himself he will turn his gun on himself in the end, he is always looking for a loophole that will keep him from having to kill himself.

Jonah doesn't know that his quest is doomed. The trigger to destroy the artifact that made him is that the original has to commit suicide while his double is Alive and Healthy. Since Jonah is not alive, he cannot be the catalyst to the ring's destruction.

3 people

Balta. half-orc ranger. Jonah's closest 'friend', Balta is a half-orc woman who has helped Jonah in his hunt for the undead duplicates. She is a vampire hunter who almost killed jonah in their first meeting. He defeated her in combat but spared her, and won her over to help him end the ring's cycle. She plans to be the one to kill him when his mission is complete.

Sal One Eye human rogue. A man that Jonah has worked with in the past. He has helped Jonah set up mercenary contracts to hunt down certain undead. He works almost like an agent for Jonah when he doesn't want an employer to know they are working with an undead themselves. It is possible that the man double-crossed Jonah and got him captured by the organization that holds him now, but Jonah isn't completely convinced.

Tom Rachin. Human gunslinger. Usually referred to by Jonah simply as The Original. The man who first used the ring of equilibrium and accidentally created Jonah. His current location is unknown, but the two have had fights in the past. Tom is very aware of Jonah but is in denial that he essentially creates another copy of Jonah every time he dies.

3 memories, mannerisms or quirks

Jonah is dressed like a wild west cowboy. Trench coat, boots, hat. The Original was himself a Western renegade, and Jonah couldn't help but keep the style
Jonah remembers his first fight with The Original well. He killed the man, only to have him regrow again, spawning another undead elsewhere. The memory of that failure eats at Jonah
Jonah also has weird fragments of memories from Tom's life. Sometimes he has trouble sorting out whether the memory is his or one of the Original's
