* In Creator/GeorgeRRMartin's ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'', Arya Stark and Sandor Clegane are probably the best examples, in terms of their personalities. Their actual roles as protagonists or antagonists are debatable. Jaime might fall in this category too, [[SympatheticPOV at least once you progress to the passages written from his point of view]] and he undergoes some major CharacterDevelopment.
** There is also Jaime's younger brother, the DepravedDwarf Tyrion Lannister. He is one of the nicer characters in the series but is still willing to do some quite nasty stuff and out of family loyalty fight on the side of a sadistic RoyalBrat they know isn't the rightful King.
** Stannis Baratheon is on a fine line between Anti-Hero and AntiVillain. He claims the throne because by Westerosi law he is the rightful King and is a very honourable and just man. However he is quite ruthless in his aims, making an alliance with a Priestess from a religion that burns people alive and uses blood magic to try killing his rivals.
** Daenerys gets Sympathetic POV chapters, but is still willing to be brutal in her aims and is willing to start a war to get what she regards as her rightful throne, despite her father getting overthrown because he was a psychotic monster.

* ''Literature/NowhereStars'': Liadain is the selfish variety. As a MagicalGirl, she fights monsters and saves people, but only because doing so staves off her own terminal illness. She even admits she probably wouldn't do it if it wasn't the only way to save her life. She's not a ''bad'' person, but she's not the kind of selfless hero who would risk her life for total strangers if there wasn't something in it for her.

* ''Literature/EmpireOfTheVampire'':Though he begins as an IdealHero - skilled, devoted, chivalrous and above all, determined - the years of hopeless struggle and grievous losses against the vampiric conquest leave Gabriel de León falling squarely into this trope. By the time he joins the Company of the Grail, he has become a surly, wrathful, perpetually intoxicated {{Naytheist}} with little loyalty left even towards his own old friends. He has only mild concerns about sacrificing innocent (as far as he knows) lives to save his own skin and even using his own allies as bait to draw out his own intended targets. In his own word:
