Again, without going into too much detail, the reason I want to be able to play as this character is because (due to recent IG events) he has a huge score to settle with people he once considered friends/patriots/etc. Think William Wallace after he is betrayed by the Scottish nobility (if you've seen Braveheart) 
.
You don't need to recreate the same character to get revenge. I had a character that I played years ago on FEI that was betrayed by another character. I stopped playing for a few years, and when I came back I created a new family and RPed them as the grandchildren of the original character who had grown up hearing stories about the betrayal of their grandfather. They got his vengeance for him.
