I'm looking for something along the lines of Cruel Mercy, but the instance I have in mind doesn't really fit that trope itself.
The instance is the just-released ninth book of the Safehold series, Since the book was just released, I'm going to use spoiler tags here in case anybody follows the series:
The Big Bad up to this point, Grand Inquisitor of a Corrupt Church (which should give you a good idea of what he's like) is finally brought down and jailed pending trial and execution. On the eve of his execution, the protagonists Merlin & Nimue reveal to him that the "archangels" he so reveres, and committed atrocities in the name of, were mortal men and women who started his church as a Path of Inspiration, this essentially completes his Villainous Breakdown and leaves him a broken man as he's executed.
Were it just the first part alone, then Cruel Mercy would apply, but given how it's done right before his execution, the trope doesn't really apply, I think. It's really more a case of twisting the knife, So I'm not sure if we have a trope that does apply.
