1-But in your view who is irredeemably evil to the core?

2-Who is slowly becoming evil to the core?

3-Who can still turn their lives around?

4-Maybe there's a character who's in denial that they're evil. 1-No one. The closest is Adam, and even I don't consider him "irredeemable".

The only one I would count as such is Salem, but she may well just be "evil" in the same way the Grimm are "evil", which if true would make her "evil by design" instead of willingly evil.

2-No one we know so far, IMO.

3-Cinder, Emerald, Mercury, Adam, maybe Roman and Neo. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.....we only know about Tyrian, and I would hate it if he became even neutral, while we also know nothing of Wattson and Hazel to make any guesses.

4-Everyone is evil in some unconscious way. Ever had strange, stray thoughts suddenly come to your mind? Thoughts of doing something cruel, savage, or at least dickish, even if you were not an asshole in any way or had any reason to do it? That's part of that unconscious evil.

Now, on a more conventional sense, it depends on what you mean by that. I mean, if there was a guy who wanted to make a plan that would, if it succeeds, kill millions of innocents "for the greater good" (in a way that isn't just plain stupid/insane), then it would count as "well-intentioned extremist" instead of "unconsciously evil".
