An antihero or antiheroine is a leading character in a story who, unlike a traditional hero, acts in an unheroic manner and lacks conventional heroic qualities such as idealism, courage and morality.
That is a good place to start, especially for a fictional antihero. For the historical figures its a little harder to pin down. One could say its the good man defending a bad cause or possibly the bad man fighting for a good cause. The truth is I can think of few truly unambiguous historical figures as most human beings are a mix of qualities. Of course Blue moon also has some fine 25mm figures and I have loved painting their 15/18mm figures. Here the Swashbucklers appeal to me Cardinal Richelieu would be a great anti-hero. The Gangland, Pulp and western collections also have some strong options. I will probably have to buy a figure as my 28mm collection is very limited and I don't see any good options in what I have left.
