Looking this over and you've got the Faithful trait, but not Faith. It opens up at B3. There are the questions to answer on p. 206 that may increase it. Answer truthfully.

I put Faith up with the STATS section near the top.

I'm thinking he'd turn to the spirits when he's in danger. In my head, he'd be making checks for the stuff in the list of faith magic, but it would be manifesting as advice from the dead for the minor stuff ("hey stupid, duck!" or "look, over there!" or having then distract an enemy, etc) and maybe even manifesting their spirits briefly for the major stuff.

I'm a little torn on the question about how to best serve his allies. He's looking for personal power, but he's doing it through his connection to the dead. He wants to be the gateway between the wisdom of spirits of the greatest figures in history and the god empress. I see him being a little jealous with that connection at first, but assuming he grows into a relationship with his companions, he might be willing to use the dead to help them as well. His power is rooted in his faith, and he'll use his power to aid his allies. I dunno. The B4 vs B5 isn't a huge deal for me.

Looks good!

Played around with the format a little and added the advancement tracking. Just in case you wanted to steal it for the other characters.
