There are many... MANY redeemed FT villains who became good, but of all of them Hoteye is probably the least similar, since his change came from an outside force (i.e. Nirvana) rather than solely from his own consious.

But then the same could be said about Jellal, since he was only evil due to Ultear screwing around in his head.

But then there are Bisca (even though that was revealed only in the flashbacks), Juvia, Gajeel, to a certain degree Mest, Erza Knightwalker, Millianna and Wally... should I continue?
