How do I return the holder of a title to an input that requires a character?

[Whyareall]

Say if I want a character to be executed by the pope, I'd have the line

death = { death_reason = death_execution killer = ???? }​

What would I put in place of ????

The pope would be the owner of k_papal_state

It should be part of their death entry. Example:
1306.1.1 = {
death = {
death_reason = death_murder
killer = 58211
}
}

If its a historical pope, his char ID would go in your ????

I think he means via dynamic scripting:

# Assuming you have scoped here to the character to be killed
k_papal_state = {
  holder_scope = {
     PREVPREV = { # Go back 2 scopes up the chain: holder_scope -> k_papal_state ->
       death = { death_reason = death_execution killer = PREV }  # PREV is owner of k_papal_state
     }
  }
}

Here's another example from vanilla cm_misc_zun_events.txt

host = {
  ROOT = {
    death = {
      killer = PREV  # the host
      death_reason = death_sacrificed
    }
  }
}
