My paladin/hellknight is a member of the Cheliax faction.
In the beginning, his motivation was that it was better to be on the inside of the faction and know what the paracountess was doing rather than be on the outside fighting against House Thrune. He downplayed his paladinhood and simply referred to himself as a 'warrior type.' Either the paracountess didn't know he was a paladin, or more likely - she knew and was trying to corrupt him.
I designed the character so that he could still be quite effective even if he didn't accumulate much fame. I didn't expect him to complete many faction missions. However, since PFS characters can't be evil, they aren't going to be given evil faction missions. Plus, she keeps her motivations behind many of her missions secret even to faction members who aren't lawful good. This character has completed most, if not all faction missions. Few were so blatantly against his paladin code that he refused to do them, and the ones that seemed shady were completed by another character in the party of the same faction on their own.
Now that he is casting paladin spells and bonding celestial spirits to his weapon, he doesn't try to downplay his paladinhood - and the paracountess doesn't seem to mind.
