He singlehandedly prevented democracy from being introduce to Germany for several decades, compared to when it would have otherwise arrived. If, by the 1930s, Germany had had a better tradition of democracy, they might very well not have been won over by a populistic fascist ruler.

For instance, my cowboy hero meets up with Niobe in a cave in the desert and later returns to find only a stone oozing moisture. I would drop the "Pan" in her name and have Dora open a mysterious safe in the sheriff's office. Etc.
