TBH, I don't think any character is absolutely irredeemable, but redemption has to be sought and willed, and if the character's ego is inextricably bound up with whatever makes him a villain, redemption just isn't going to happen.

Thinking of another fandom: this is why Javert commits suicide. Schoenberg and Boubil give him exactly the same music that Valjean has, after the Bishop of Digne has vouched for him and given him the silver, to emphasize that the moment is the same for each of them; they've been given a revelation, and each can choose what Eastern Orthodoxy calls metanoia, a turning away from their old self, or keep on the same path. But the kind of massive hubris that says "I am the Law and the Law is not mocked!" can't make the turn, and that leaves nowhere else for Javert to go but into the river. Similarly, some villains just will never make the turn. They could be redeemed, potentially, if they would, but you know they never will.
