With George, we just need to meet his wife, learn who cursed her with infertility (which I'm assuming is what made him evil) and where the hell he is in the present day. Well, I wouldn't say George started out as evil, at least at the point we first met him. He was more on the ruthless end of the "pragmatic king" spectrum until Charming betrayed him. Then he went sorta blood tyrant – which again, made him a villain mostly because he opposed the to-be Charming clan who had actively screwed his kingdom, which was in in dire need and he seemed to really care about (his alliance with Regina was mere realpolitik). The moment he really jumped the shark was when he went full on ax murderer in Storybrooke. I'm confused though, why did King George still try to kill Charming after Regina bought him, he got whatever money Midas would have given him in exchange Pride. Also, Charming was trying to steal a kingdom that wasn't his. While Snow was fighting to reclaim hers from Regina, Charming was actively trying to take George's kingdom away from him. And in fact, we see that Snow and Charming's palace was actually George's. He went at war after the ransom because Charming was trying to usurp him, and because he was allies with Regina and she probably called. (Regina must have had some good leverage on him, considering her cutting off trades dealt a great contribute to bankrupt the kingdom). He went on a killing spree in Storybrooke because Charming did usurp him in the end (besides, he and Snow proved dreadful and unfit monarchs, but shh).
