There are some things you'll have to accept, given the unique condition that keeps you from becoming a fiend, as my other lieutenants. It means that you will be unable to enter Heaven or Hell alone, something they are generally given free reign to do as necessary. You'll also be unable to travel as we do, becoming immaterial, or invisible. There are certain gifts that are inherent to a fiendish body - the ability to read a man's soul, for example. Some of these gifts can be bestowed to even a mortal frame via blood pact, if you so desire, but that choice would be yours.
In other words, there are limits to your mortal vessel, but there are also limits, therefore, to the power we can exercise over your loyalty to our cause. That means there is information about purely mortal affairs that we cannot share without tipping the scales of power to grant the other side further freedom of movement. We're certainly willing to compromise on this once in a great while, and I believe this is one such case. We can direct you to the mortal man who hired James, and what action you take will be no business of Hell's.
As for the Talisman... [ he smirks ] You need not concern yourself over its power to grant immortality. As you've no doubt learned from our story, the tales of a thing rarely reflect the truth of it.
