A '''Hero Antagonist''' is a character who is an antagonist (that is, they oppose [[The Protagonist]]), yet is still technically a hero. They oppose the main character and may not even have [[Sympathetic POV]], but their objectives are things like saving the world, saving large groups of people, heck, saving anybody's life if they have the chance. A tweaking of the narrative could easily make them a sympathetic protagonist.
 
Line 15 ⟶ 7:
 
Compare the [[Knight Templar]], whose devotion to 'good' ideals has become unreasoning fanaticism. Often (though not always, depending on how [[Morality Tropes|the morality is played]] in the work) will oppose his/her inverse, the [[Villain Protagonist]] and is the opposite of the [[Hero Protagonist]]. Contrast [[Designated Hero]], for when he's really ''not'' a nice guy.
