12. Yes. He does.

Because he abhors the feeling of shame, his psychological strategy is to convert shame into anger (an emotion he is comfortable with). Thus, we will see blame-shifting followed by retaliation against whomever he decides to blame.

He has no empathy, so his retaliation is likely to be out of all proportion—far more severe than the allegedly guilty party deserves. It will be ugly.
