Same here, except for Nihiltidax, who hasn't appeared in my storyline yet, most of my antagonists are very complex. Some, like Skorpix and Eostra, are power-hungry and greedy, others genuinely believe they're doing what is right (Valkyria and Windeus), some, again, were swept onto the wrong side. (Nex and Arcturas).

Though, like Slice said, I also like protagonists with shades of gray. They range from ambitious, smart, but idealistic (Shardak), veteran warrior (Fairon from TEG, Ion), and villain/antihero protagonist (Valkyria). I can't really say too much more, because my storyline is still mostly in development, but it'll be interesting when Shardak, who's a rather idealistic Toa, meets Valkyria, who pretty much has no morals about murder, war, etc,.. Really, good and evil, in complex storylines, is too generic a label to slap on a character.
