I chose Sauron, I don't know much about Voldemort. Sauron seems to have existed for the sake of being evil and there is never any indication that he could have been redeemed or reformed. Darth Vader kind of pussed out, and Scar... eh, don't remember enough about that movie, really. He was probably just a jealous uncle or something.
Sauron's goal seemed to be to do evil because he was evil. There really doesn't seem to be a way that he could have gotten what he wanted by being nice.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
