You might want to try what I did: Have some distant relative leave a will with a lawyer, saying that the character has inherited something. Then, let the lawyer send out a couple of investigators (I used a gunfighter, named Stone (just to mess with players that thought they knew things), and a huckster named Stick). These two look for the character, ask questions, and othervise act in a suspicious manner. Give the player reasons to avoid them. Then, when they meet several sessions later, let him know that he has gotten something, if he is willing to travel to some destination to get it (anything you want your players to have. A secret, a magical item, anything. I gave him a house the group could use as a base).
