*with blatant abuse of the very idea of "sentence"*
Years before Keller started kidnapping Neal's loved ones, he took something else from Neal, and back then, Neal thought it was impossible that he could ever do anything more purely motivated by spite; Neal's enemy went by another name then, but when he dug into Neal's past -- when he found what no one else could, that Neal Caffrey's real name was Matthew Keller -- he stole the name right from under him, committing crime after crime while wrapped in it, knowing that Neal would cringe every time he heard of another violent act, another stream of blood, spilled at the hands of the infamously brutal "Keller."
