I am not studly enough to help you with your regexp question. :(
But I wanted to make a syntax suggestion based on my running "PHP vs. CF, Which Sucks More" log.
I highly recommend having a flavor of loop control which is foreachish, in that it runs once for each member of a set, but when nested, by default, inherits. A sort of loop, in which you won't have to write "&& Faction==%%PAGENAME%%" because that's the default.
Because in a web-results language, you do that all. The. Time.
I find I want to express your second concept in something VB-ish:
%%factions{.name .characters{.name}}%%
That probably wouldn't work with arbitrary objects, because English puralizes poorly.
