If Mordor becomes a sort of Gondorian colony, how different would the King (but definitely not Aragorn, he's too noble for that) be from Sauron-minus-the-Magic/Power?

And I notice a sort of cyclic thingy with JRRT. A great man (it applies to all races, be it Men or Dwarves or whatever) rises from the ashes and becomes king/lord, and rules well. Then for the next few generations shadows arise, and the last king is the most evil of all. Destruction ala Noah comes, but a good man descended from the first king (they always have to be descended, wonder why?) and leads a part of the people and becomes a sort of a new king on grounds of heredity and maybe morality as well. And then the cycle begins again.
