There is a problem with the term "irredeemable" (and the Moral Event Horizon, for that matter). No villain in fiction can ever by any means be irredeemable. The choice of redemption always (!) lies with the author, so you can write a villain who betrays the hero, kills all of said hero's acquantainces, brutally slaughters orphan children with sadistic pleasure, destroys entire planets and so on, and still let them regret their actions and join the forgiving hero. See the problem?
