Edgar Allan Poe's protagonist, Montresor, from "The Cask of Amontillado" was a dark character indeed. However, he is not seen as a brooding type. He seems to come from a strong-willed stock that loses his judgment after being insulted too many times by the antagonist Fortunato.
It is apparent that he is calculating; he premeditates the murder and sets it up skillfully. His compulsion for revenge is strong - an OCD maybe? But he wants to eliminate this foe immediately (unlike Edmond Dantes in "The Count of Monte Cristo").
