An Anti-Hero is a central main character working along the side of good but having characteristics that do not make them what usual heroes are like. They are the type to lie, cheat, and steal their way into things or even go against the law or even be seen as an outright villain. However, the villain is who the audience despises and detaches themselves from while the anti-hero is whom we cheer and root for. The Anti-Hero has an ambiguous morality between good and bad and depending on the story decide where there fate goes with the thought of a type of redemption as a hero or becoming corrupt as a villain.
