I see he is a man of culture as well. Revenge should always be dish served cold, they must first be brought down from their high and mighty places into the literal gutters. Have everything around them fade to ash, lose all they care about, break everything they were. All the while they do not know why it all happened and then, when they are at their lowest point you will appear in front of them, laughing, to finally end it all. Only then will you have taken revenge successfully
