Determine what sins he needs to be punished for, and set up mirrors.

- If it's murder: someone important to him should die.
- If it's toppling a government and he sets up a new one: his new government falls apart because the people are now revolting against_him_.
- If he destroys a secret society because he loathes secrecy: in some way he has to establish a new one in order to hold the government together.

and so on. You're going for a _Twilight Zone_ kind of irony.
