If we're going by the amount of characterization and explanation of motives like with Torchwick, then Tyrian would be my prediction. Write a good villain, then kill him off...works every time!

Speaking of which, let's see which villains and heroes have vendettas against one another here:

-RNJR has a vendetta against Cinder, Cinder against Ruby: RNJR overall for revenge for Pyrrha (specifically Ruby and Jaune), and Cinder against Ruby for "taking away what power she had," more or less.

-Tyrian has a vendetta against Ruby for cutting off his stinger, possibly Qrow if they meet again just by virtue of not dying. Qrow might return it for Tyrian, y'know...trying to kill him.

-Neo might have a vendetta against Ruby if she blindly assumed Ruby killed Roman. Yang has a vendetta for Neo just by virtue of almost killing her and eluding her rage.

-Blake + Yang have vendettas against Adam for trying to hurt/kill both of them in front of each other, Adam has a vendetta for Blake just by virtue of being "the one that got away" for good reasons.

-Yang might have a vendetta for Mercury (possibly Emerald if she figures it out) for framing her in front of the entire world.

-Ruby might have a vendetta against Mercury for interfering in her attempt to save Penny. Ruby might also have it in for Emerald, just on basis of suspicion and how she might know that she's been mind-screwing everyone.

-Sun has a vendetta for Ilia on virtue of being stabbed and nearly dying from her.

Moral of the story: Revenge plots galore for Yang and Ruby, and Weiss having zero plot significance even as a member of the main 4. (Seriously, RT...step it up. Weiss hasn't had a proper fight with real stakes since Volume 2 with Banesaw. Make that Em v. Weiss tease come true in one of these coming Volumes (sooner rather than later, preferably.)
