You have to read my comments regarding my definition of a cynic archetype. It is not what you have in mind. They can have a mission and be cynical about human nature. Think of the Cromwellian Cynics who followed the Puritan Idealists.

Weren't Cromwell's followers carrying out the mission of the Puritans?

The problem with Cromwell is that he was a typical and prophetic revolutionary. Meet the new boss; same as the old boss. The revolutionaries often tend to become tyrants once they take over.
