Another example of this as well as Doctor Evil is Darth Vader. - Starts off an innocent boy - Corrupted to become evil and follow his new master under the pretense that he'll save his wife - Convinced in the last moment that there is still good in his heart and overthrows his evil master - Pays for his actions by his death but ultimately died as a good man in the eyes of his son Roughly. I would gladly read about such a character's progression in a fantasy environment. I think ultimately most people don't really like to read an ending that is not positive, but it doesn't mean the character can't be malleable to the point of going against his moral beliefs for a period of time and then being redeemed.
