An antihero (sometimes spelled as anti-hero) or antiheroine is a main character in a story who may lack some conventional heroic qualities and attributes, such as idealism, courage, and morality. Although antiheroes mostly perform actions that are morally correct, their reasons for doing so aren't always altruistic. Often acting out of selfish interest or a personal vendetta, such as vengeance. Although most of the time, their moral codes are sound enough to keep them from the label of villain.
