Anti-Hero is a protagonist who lacks conventional heroic qualities such as idealism, courage, or morality
These characters are usually considered "conspicuously contrary to an archetypal hero".
Although antiheroes may sometimes do the "right thing", it is often for the "wrong reasons" and because it serves their self-interest rather than being driven by moral convictions.
