May not be entirely all that usefull for your needs, but the whole eating 
people parts thing brought to mind the idea of him being haunted by the 
ghost of anyone whose he has eaten of like the ghosts from "american 
werewolf in london" then takeing the extra step of makeing these ghost 
visible to other spirits, including the harrowed ranger trailing him.

The ghosts hang around commenting on everthing he does, telling him all 
about the things he does while the manitou is in charge, yelling out to 
other harrowed and supernatural critters where he's hideing at etc... all 
the while slowly rotting before his eyes. For extra fun make them visible 
to the occasional child "I see a whole lot of dead people, and they look 
pissed".

to encourage him to regain dominion how bout giveing him a manitou with a 
gambling problem, it takes control and gambles all his money, guns, 
horse,and cloths away, or a transvetite manitou, so everytime he regains 
control he wakes up dressed like a saloon gal, possibly in the arms of a 
amorous drunken cowboy, or even just a manitou with a fondness for 
haveing all the evil it does while in controll immortalized with tatoos 
depicting its crimes on the harrowed skin.

How bout having the Ranger never make contact with the harrowed, he just 
leaves notes encouranging the harrowed to join the harrowed then shoots 
him from a long distance everytime he thinks the harrowed has lost 
dominion, everytime you get bored tell the harrowed he wakes up from the 
manitou's control after trying to rob a bank with 4 wounds to the leg, or 
he wakes up on fire as the ranger shoot the can of kerosine he was about 
to throw into a orphanage
