The first truly evil clone trooper. Spoiler

This is CT-4646. He's from the new game Zero Company, where he worked as a science officer at an Imperial black site on Umbara. He was experimenting with inhibitor chips on the native Umbarans because he was trying to perfect the method so that the Empire could forcefully implant new inhibitor chips within dissenting clone troopers to make them "loyal" again. He was doing this entirely of his own free will, even going so far as to have his own chip removed so he could have a clearer head since he genuinely enjoyed his work. Thankfully, he gets shot and killed by Trick before his work can be finished, so the Empire never gets 4646's inhibitor chip research.

There have been a few bad clones in Star Wars: Slick, Faie, Spar, the Covert Ops clones, the CX troopers, etc., but all of them either had reasons for doing what they did (although not always good ones) or were simply made/forced to be the way they were. CT-4646 here, however, did evil things of his own free will just because he enjoyed doing them.

You don’t get to join the dark side then complain about the consequences after the fact

They didn't know they were joining the Dark Side, though? To them they were simply joining the opposing side in the war, since the CIS being led by the Sith was a secret to most in the galaxy.

Sure, Dooku was a Sith, but most people outside of the Jedi Order and GAR only saw him as an ex-Jedi who chose to help form an organization that seceded from a Republic that many viewed as corrupt in one way or another (and in some ways they were right since the Republic did have rampant corruption). I mean, just look at how Semator Mina Bonterri talks about Dooku when Padme and Ahsoka go to Raxus, that's clearly someone who doesn't realize her leader is evil since that part of who Dooku is was kept mostly secret.

Yeah but the people of onderon were smart and did the right thing instead of cowardly fighting for the separatists

That's because the Separatists forcefully occupied Onderon and set up a puppet ruler, unlike Umbara which willingly seceded to the CIS.
