''There's an implication that "hitman" has some internal morality that wouldn't fit the conventional model of morality.''  
  
Yes, he does; he regards conventional morality as phony morality.  
  
''This invites the question of how does he derive his morality? Or does he eschew the category entirely?''  
  
He derives his morality organically based on true incidents he has witnessed with his own eyes, and how people really behave in private.  
  
''The idea that this woman is a "true Christian", and that this characteristic makes her a potential ideal candidate to bear his children implies that he considers this factor relevant to his goals, which must somehow intersect with the values this woman would impart to his children.''  
  
He does; he wants his children to be authentic, totally self-aware of what they are about, not deluding themselves that they believe in something they don't.  
  
''Is it a factor that he considers this woman's loyalty to her cause a genetic feature he'd consider important for his children to have?''  
  
He does.  
  
''But, you brought up the idea that he considers a potential afterlife for himself. It begs the question if he considers the possibility that what HE believes has an effect on that afterlife.''  
  
He does.     
  
Another character I want to imbue him with is Capt. Pike, and Vina.

The story of the hitman and the 'True Christian Lady' on the doomed airliner is going to take 2 to 3 chapters of 'The Theater of Life', a story within a story, that is going to be told like 'The Notes from Underground', 'Little Mermaid', '1984', 'DOA', and 'White Night', and 'The Grand Inquisitor' by Dostoyefsky.

I intend 'The Theater of Life' to be told, at least partially, in 'One Thousand and One Nights' style.

Musical motif of the hitman's story would be like these three:
