how does this NPC sound?

[NecroDancer]

Sheriff Bill: he was once an arcane cowboy from the material plane of Rold-Gush, after a life of adventure he settled down in a small town and dedicated the rest of his life to defending it. Bill was loved and commanded alot of respect however Bill's child got sick and Bill decided to leave with a group of other arcane Cowboys to find a cure. While they where gone the town came under attack by the demonlord Yeenoghu and has utterly destroyed, when Bill and his cohorts got back they where utterly devistated. Bill blamed himself for not being there to protect the town and later he and his cohorts died or vanished into the desert.

However a fallen angel named Koe later found Bill's spirit and offered him a chance of vengance against Yeenoghu, Bill accepted and was brought back to life as a ghost along with all the other arcane cowboys who followed him.

Bill and his cohorts currently patrol the underdark delivering supplies to various agents of Koe preparing for when Koe's new (and secret) spell brings the both the archdevils and the demon lords into the underdark.

Mechanically Bill is a ghost who uses a revolver that deals psychic damage and can cast 3rd level wizard spells, he is LG and rides a Catoblepas (from VGtM). Other than that I have no idea what to add to him. His cohorts are ghost archers (who also use revolvers that deal psychic damage).

Sounds pretty rad to me.

Unless you play the Johnny Cash version of Ghost Riders in the Sky (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mynzbmrtp9I)when you first introduce this NPC, this simply cannot be.

For Demeter's sake, what is Koe's plan? How does putting a bunch of demons and devils in the underdark help Bill get revenge in any way?

Is this in a modified official campaign?

[NecroDancer]

This is an entirely homebrew campaign.

Basically Koe wants the blood war (a war between demons and Devils) to end. Koe distributes weapons and Intel to both sides in the hope that they will wipe each other out via fantasy WMD. However both sides seem to be forgetting about the war so Koe decided to shake things up and increase hated by forcing a fight between the leaders of hell and the abyss. Koe will then propose the use of a WMD (the blood of a dead God Aosker that can cause planar collapse) and the feind's home planes will be wiped out. Koe is extremely arrogant and believes that he can control both sides of the conflict in order to prevent the WMD from being used to wipe out a celestial plane (spoiler: he can't).

The way Bill see's it is that if he works for Koe than Yeenoghu will fall faster.
