Here's an idea: introduce a villain-esque character who not only CAN'T be redeemed, but is actually fundamental to maintaining harmony in Equestria by being evil.

Enter Alicorn Prince Malefic, the 1000 year old former student of Princess Celestia who sacrificed his future and condemned himself to eternity in Tartarus. By casting a spell that allowed him to absorb all corruption throughout Equestria from within Tartarus, Equestria has been kept in a state of slightly imperfect harmony for the past millenium. However, when Celestia feels the spell shatter and with no way to contact Malefic herself, she sends the Elements of Harmony into Tartarus to settle the matter before corruption spreads throughout Equestria.
