What about Ilyn Payne? Was he just doing his duty to his lords? There is a line in there somewhere that he "lives just for the killing" or something like that.

IIyne Payne is more likely to end up on the good list than bad.

He's the perfect tool.

He's loyal, especially after getting his tongue cut out. He doesn't balk or question the people he serves. He has no ulterior motives that we know of.

He just works for the wrong people in most of the story.

He could have just as easily been a good servant of death at Winterfell or the Wall and not caused any problems.

Can't really put him in any list.
