Garet Jax was a fine character indeed. Nice that he did achieve his biggest dream.
With regard to stories that have an evil protagonist that wins, or a good protagonist that loses, I don't know any. Even with computer games I only know two: Dungeon Keeper 1 and 2.
I think most people wouldn't like those stories because they seem to be the wrong way around.
I'll watch this thread to see if any come up.
