I avoided completing that quest for the longest time just so I could laugh at his attempts to extort money from me.

"Go ahead, send as many thugs as you like. I'll be waiting. In fact, I might even send a few back to you alive to speak of the horrible fates that befall those who try to take advantage of me. So go, rally up as many mercenaries as you can. I like a challenge."

In the end, though, I did not kill him. No matter how annoying someone is, a life is a life and should not be taken lightly. Also, on a more evil side, if they're dead, then you can't gloat. Better to vanquish them but leave them alive to sulk in their defeat. This is why people like Nazeem, Degaine, Mogrul, and other irritating characters are still alive. The only person I seriously considered murdering was Sibbi Black-Briar because he posed a legitimate threat to the life of an innocent woman. Of course, he's essential, so it didn't actually matter in the end.
