1. Absolutely. He wants so desperately to make the billionaires pay for what they did to his loved ones and, in his mind, to the whole planet. It's so important he's spent 5000 years working on it. There's also something to be said for him nuking the planet and devouring all the other planets lifeforces for it, etc. He's said to be absolutely, tragic-flaw-level vindictive. 2. Off barge, not for a long time until very recently. He's set himself up into a situation where people don't or can't fuck with him much. Then, just before he came, he was betrayed by his two oldest friends and he absolutely annihilated one of them and dragged the other to hell. On barge, he revenged Iris on Johann when he murdered her. 3. AYUP. Said two oldest friends did that for his secrecy and for, in their mind, being responsible for the murders of their most important people (their cavaliers). How much that last one is John's fault is somewhat wobbly. 4. Johann murder and subsequent torture was on Barge! 5. Whatever happened with Alecto, also his origins. That's his (also a lot of pieces are still a little wobbly and I don't want to fuddle ith it too much until last book is out).
6. His soul is partially or completely (UNCLEAR!) swapped with the soul of the planet Earth. Also Necromancer Prime, dealing with spirits and souls and etc. is his jam. He also took in all of the life/death energy of all the planets in the solar system and the sun so... that probably feels like A Lot.
