Eberron Escapades members avert thine eyes!

In a game I'm DMing the first legitimately threatening villain I'd like to set them up against will be a Paladin of Tyranny. The paladin will be tied to the main plot of aberrant dragonmarks and in possession of a cheap imitation of the mark of death which grants him freakish fast healing/regeneration. How can I justify this feat/ability-wise? Things don't have to be strictly RAW, but I'd like to have him be the figurehead of a valid challenge to a group of level 5 adventurers.

Probably not quite what you want, but you could use the feral template.

The template (Savage Species, +1-2 CR depending on hit dice) will give a human/elf/whatever fast healing 2, some stat modifiers that don't hurt a paladin (slight dex penalty and larger int penalty with boosts to strength, con and wis), 10 foot boot to speed, a natural armor bonus and improved grab.

Trade away some of those last few to up the healing or convert it to regeneration that good aligned weapons bypass if you want.
