While I totally agree that every evil character shouldn't be completing that quest, I must object to the implication that to be evil every act must be evil.

If a person is giving, almost always coming to help those in need for purely selfless reasons, trustworthy to their friends, honourable to there enemies, and flenses live babies to add garnish to a chef's salad - what alignment are they? I personally would not even think of considering them good or neutral.

Why do people always try to enforce a black/white ideal when in reality everything is shades of grey?
