I like how at the Council of Elrond, someone suggests entrusting the One Ring to Tom Bombadil, because he could be trusted to misuse it and Elrond is like “nah, that’s the problem — he’s so disinclined to its power that he’d use it as a paperweight and misplace it or something”
No need to go even that far, Tom Bombadil is as morally gray or neutral as a character can be.
He doesn’t care about right or wrong, he’s just having good time banging his beautiful wife and singing songs about her
Fwiw, I see Jack Black and Renee Elise Goldsberry for these roles.
