Bwahah...

Of course - his Blessed powers have been turned into Black Magic.

Again - rewriting the past to keep the players off balance.

Well.  Salt Lake City is in between Denver and California. . . 
But, if you go with the above hook, you will need to tie it to the Heart of

Everybody dies.  Whether you die on your feet or on your knees, is entirely
up to you.
