Who am I?

I could be your neighbour, your friend, a member of your family.

I walk amongst you. I dress like you, I talk like you, unidentifiable, nondescript.

We may eat at the same restaurants, go to the same theatres, watch the same films.

We could have lots in common.

But, did I mention I’m a master of revenge, adept at betrayal and if it’s torture, well, the bloodthirstier the better.

Murder? Why of course, come closer, I have a tale or two to tell.

I am a teacher of history, and oh, how I love it.
