I would probably say Grima as well. He had to have had a good heart at one point, but was corrupted. The woman he loved did not love him back; she loathed him. His master (Saruman) treated him cruelly with no respect whatsoever. He was offered a chance at a new life but was so intimidated by Saruman that he feared his wrath and therefore did not take the offer. At the end of the book he got his revenge by murdering Saruman, but even then he was not free because the hobbits shot him down with their arrows the minute he began running.
