You could give him Signature Gear: My Holy Sword (Pact), and Payload
(Cosmic, Pact, Preparation Required (only to remove items, half cost),
Cost 2 FP (only to remove items, half cost), Accessability: only to
stow My Holy Sword, probably -80%)

You could handle the "only for one combat before despawning" thing as
part of the pact...

It's a bit of a cludge.
