Yeah, but I think we can all agree that when Amaunator secretly informed Thayd of the gate system, by using Jergal to speak through Nergal, that led to the world of the orcs that ultimately led to the death of two rival sun gods (Ra and Utu), he wasn't performing a good act. Of course, that's why Nergal was buried outside of their homeland, but then everyone knows that.
Wait what? Did that happen in canon, or some of the Forgotten Realms writers wrote about this? Or is this something from your campaign, a theory, or joke?

To be fair, Jergal having a "plan", which was implied in the History of the Dead Three in Faiths and Avatars, and outright stated in Eric L. Boyd's conversion of Age of Worms.
And one can see Jergal as non-evil, and still Lawful Neutral with his plan. All things, eventually end. Even universes, and multiverses, end, and Jergal would have doing his plan, to fulfill his role as "The Lord of the End of Everything".
There can be non-evil villains - Ygrol has a villainous role, and similar goals, especially in the Gord novel's, but he is is Chaotic Neutral.
Jergal was Lawful Evil during the age of ancient Netheril...

Karsus' Folly might have been the proverbial "last straw" for Jergal - all that sudden extra work from so many people across Realmspace dying within a short period of time could have made him fed up with his job.
