The ghost-soul in the inhumi may attain to a sort of human virtue.  The
flesh remains evil.   Of course the question is whether "evil" in this
context means anything other than "evil to humans".

It depends on what you mean by "nature", "good" and "evil".

Also by what "they" refers to when you are talking of the inhumi.



And the whole point of the inhumi is to put these concepts to the Question.
To Excruciation
