I will throw in the fact that Nathan would, too, forget his encounter with Pierre for added dramatic value. Maybe there are some more recent interactions, perhaps a sarcastic battle of subtle comebacks at some gala or fundraising event in Manhattan. 

Also I like this new image better, looks more Pierre Athene and more manipulative.

That would work, nothing wrong with some repressed memories. Lol. Of course our characters would have more frequent interactions; a gala hosted by a mutual acquaintance is a good starting point for "the escalating conflict" between the two as described by the sensationalist media. Two people with a history of animosity towards each other would be apt to engage in a war of the words in a less public setting, therefore periodically throughout the night sarcastic quips, subtle barbs and low-key insults are exchanged between the two culminating in a heated yet reserved confrontation. However, gossip distorted the true events of the evening and portrayed the event as a rather tactless argument; headlines read such nonsense as [i]Et Tu, Brute?: Thumberstock to Athene, "I will f***ing bury you!"[/i] or [i]A Hard Night's Fight: Athene assaults Thumberstock...Chief of Police prevents deescalation[/i].

Thanks, the new picture is an improvement; saw the guy in a [s]BBC[/s] Herald Sun article and knew he was born to be Pierre.
