That's for the author to answer and convince you of. 
I'm trying to remember if there are any...  Oh, yes,
Anne Rice's vampires, especially Lestat.

Flawed as in literary character flaw or morally
flawed?  I don't believe that people will
automatically choose 'good' if given the choice.  Of
course, that's assuming there *is* good and evil in
the first place.  I fully believe that if 'evil' will
reap more rewards without punishments, most people
will go with the 'evil' choice instead of the 'good.' 
Well, at least I would.  I think.
