I con only imagine the scene inside the office going somewhat like the one back at the prison with the potion of charisma. :P

Haley: You will have it ready by tomorrow for 40,000gp.
Mechanic: Maybe 43,000 gp?
Haley: Only if you throw in those coupons and passes on your desk.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Interesting that Durkulon specifically pointed out the idea of trying to get resurrected. Something like that is not in his best interests.

Maybe he thinks that he can permanently replace Durkon if he gets rezzed.

Most likely he's going to influence the priests to attack him or bring up the "must destroy before reviving" dilemma to get Roy to not consider it later on.

Interesting indeed.

I suspect it's more malicious than that, though.

That's what I've been thinking. But we know the resurrection will fail, if the prophecy is to be followed.

Not possible under D&D rules. A vampire (or any templated undead) that is destroyed and ressurected returns as the original creature (with -1 levels, of course.) The "soul parasite" style vampirization Rich is using doesn't change this, as it is based on the rules in (IIRC) the Libris Mortis splatbook, which explicitly does not allow the foreign soul to remain.

I'll be the boring one and say he's just doing it to make it seem like he wants to change and is a "good" vampire and strengthen his charade as it is unlikely the priests will be able to resurrect him. Or something.
