Doomed Moral Victor, or possibly Sacrificial Lamb - they're not redeemed, they're just Too Good for This Sinful Earth, and they're not being suicidally stupid, just principled. Of course, I might be biased here, dzięki polskiej szkole ;) Anyway, Doomed Moral Victor seems best.

A minor character in edgier stories, usually ones where "good" people are forced to do something immoral.
Although not the hero, there's this one character who refuses to compromise his morals, and ends up facing death bravely. He's there to show that, despite how bad things are, there are still people who refuse to sell their souls to a violent system.
And, of course, the hero will eventually avenge him.
