MrGatr,
Honestly, the best thing to do would be to re-write the entire character, or just remove the confusing part. I will leave you to guess which is the easiest.
Plot wise, your story sounds interesting, but here's one piece of vital advice that I can give you: be spontaneous. Do not let the reader predict who will live and who will die; be like the author of Game of Thrones and kill off major characters when you feel like it. Go out on a limb, and kill the character the reader feels the deepest, most emotional bond with. You really want to grab the reader, and you want to play with their emotions. At least that is how I would write my story...
Just be spontaneous and unpredictable, and hopefully you can engineer your story the way you want it to go. DO NOT do what the readers want from you; do what you want with YOUR story. If it is good, people will love it, and in return, they will love you. They will be craving another unpredictable story. If they hate it, though, you're just SOL.
I sincerely hope I helped.
