This has sounded like a Secret to me right from the beginning of the discussion.
Except that there's that "Quickening", "There Can Be Only One" * and "Prize" baggage to deal with too...
Perhaps "Immortal" as an Affinity with "The Prize" as its Secret ?
Physical Skills : Close Combat (Ancient Weapons +10), Frown Mental Skills : Ancient Knowledge, Clich�d Pronouncements, World Weariness
Affinities :
Immortal (Special : Cannot die from loss of APs) (Ageless, Ignore Fatal Wound (Unless It Be Decapitation/Disintegration), Regenerate, Shake Off Death, "Suicide" Tactics)
The Quickening (Desire to Slay Other Immortals, Recognise Another Immortal For What He Or She Is, "There Can Be Only One", Gain Extra Skill Points From Any Immortal You Have Recently Beheaded In Close Combat)
Secret : The Prize
