== Fan
* [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni|Akasaka]] Miyuki in ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]''.
* {{spoiler|Near}} reprises this role in [[Kira Is Justice]]. The new Task Force, especially David, better fits the definition, mostly because his own nephew is Kira.
* Strafe in ''[[Fantendo Playing War]]'' and ''[[Fantendo Forgotten Legends]]'' is basically the definition of this. He essentially kills his way through the entire 41 chapters, though it is necessary.
* [[Harry Potter|Dumbledore]] in ''[[My Immortal]]'', who saves the protagonists from Voldemort on numerous occasions and is still hated by them—making him sort of a [[Designated Antagonist]] as well.
* Averted with [[Kids Next Door|Numbuh 86]] in Captainwii's ''Operation: REBEL'', where she hunts down 3 fugitives to give them [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]], while she is working with the KND, a typically good organization, the fugitives are trying to escape her, being convinced that as long as they don't [[Heel Face Turn|turn evil and betray the KND]], that they should have right to keep their KND memories. Also this trope can be considered averted considering that Numbuh 86 [[Good Is Not Nice|isn't exactly a nice person]]
** Though the Decommissioning Squad as a whole could count as an averted take on this trope as well, if the reader believes that the KET (Kids Eternally There), a group of anti-decommissioning rebels, [[Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters|are right to protect and preserve the undecommissioned]]
* Edfred of ''[[Naruto Veangance Revelaitons]]'', whose only crimes are not liking Ronan and being gay. {{spoiler|In Benji's ending, he frees the entire Naruto cast from Ronan's genjutsu, enabling them to kill Ronan}}.

Line 125 ⟶ 126:
* Claude Lebel, the man assigned to catch the eponymous assassin of ''[[The Day of the Jackal]]''.
** After Lebel is introduced, the plot stops following the Jackal exclusively, and is as much Lebel's story as it is the Jackal's, so Lebel goes back and forth between being a Hero Antagonist, and a straight Hero. The Jackal goes back and forth between being a straight Villain and a [[Villain Protagonist]].
* Ged, the protagonist from ''[[Earthsea Trilogy|A Wizard of
* Macduff, from [[Macbeth]]. Naturally, the title character is also the [[Villain Protagonist]].
* Thot Keer from [[Star Trek: Typhon Pact]], ''Zero Sum Game''. A Breen shipyard manager, his work crews are developing a prototype starship using stolen Federation technology, and the protagonist's mission is to destroy both prototype and shipyard. Keer is certainly not a villain, though; he is merely a patriot who takes pride in his work, and displays great bravery and (for want of a better term) humanity throughout the novel.
