I rememebr an old Dungeon magazin circa 99/2000 hasd an amnesiac in it that was actually a anti-Paladin and depdning on what the PCs done he oculd become a Paladin or whatever.    Star Wars: Knoights of the Old Republic also used this with the Revan storyline while Phantasy Star III on the Sega Genesis had a similar plotline with Maya. It has probably been used in countless other  novels, movies etc.    THis video here while a music video kind of has wehat I am talking about. Peasnats find what appears to be a angel and an angry mobs comes around later in the video.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdZn7k5rZLQ   Now in my game they have encountered an NPC they have apparently killed 2 times and talked to her the 3rd time and she claimed they have killed her sisters. It is leading up to a big reveal later in the campaign but I am thinking of a 4th (or maybe 3rd version met again) version of the NPC who turns up with no memory. The current version of the NPC is a wizard in the service of Tiamat and is a Dragonlord to boot.    ANy ideas on how to run with this scene? I have not made up my mind yet what the big reveal is. Clones, deepspawn, advanced simulacrums, mass produced humans, duplicated twins, living constructs a'la Battlestar Galactica Cylons etc I have no idea. The PCs have various options on what to do with the amnesiac as well, they can out right kill her and it will not impact the story in any way excpet they get another clue about multip[le NPCs all appearing identical and they are not dopplegangers or simulacrums.     Any creative ideas are of course welcome. Just throwing some ideas around.

They are all Clara Oswald from dr who.   3.  From parallel universes.   4.  They really are just quadruplets.   5.  They are actually different people under a curse to all look the same, dress the same and carry iPhones.   6.  They are really all officer Jenny from Pokemon, or nurse Joy.   7.  Hive creatures.   8.  She's a wizard that researched and cast improved mirror image and permanency.   9.  Holograms with hard light generators.

She suppressed her own memory for a while just so she could experience the whole thing "authentically".   What she'll do when it comes back, will be interesting to see. Especially if it comes back just when they have stumbled across the one weapon/spell/maguffin that actually CAN permanently kill her.   (Credit to Steven Brust for the core of the idea.)
