Wished I could find the correct quote for it, but I'll give you the quick-and-easy version of it:
There is no greater evil than a calm, sober man doing what he thinks is right
So, the most evil person wouldn't really be the gloating king on his throne, nor the criminal mastermind plotting in the shadows. It's the simple man who picks a path that seems correct, and places all of his time and energy into seeing it happen.
Khan from the Star Trek franchise would make such a "good man". In TOS, his goal was to see his people to a safe planet. He wasn't looking to destroy the universe, he wanted a better place for his people. Walter White from Breaking Bad also fits into this role nicely. His original goal was to provide for his family in case of his untimely demise. His goals shift quite a bit in the series, but his original ideas were pure.
