I am interested in this in large part because it has not been done. Has anyone thought of a story like this?

Actually, it has been done. A LOT of times. Classic fantasy example: R. Zelazny, R. Sheckley - Bring Me the Head of Prince Charming. Its protagonist is an evil daemon.

As for the mainstream literature, there are whole genres for this - hardboiled crime fiction, mafia stories (M. Puzo - Godfather). In movies: Natural Born Killers, There Will Be Blood, No Country For Old Men... In computer games: Dungeon Keeper, Overlord.

Regarding originality, there's a good rule of a thumb: "If you think you have a great original idea, hundreds of other people already had it before you."

I'm not saying you shouldn't write it, but not because it's never been done.
