In regard to the difference between an UnscrupulousHero and a NominalHero, the distinction has not been made entirely clear by the analysis page or the individual trope pages. The analysis page says that an UnscrupulousHero comes in two possible categories, the latter of which can be motivated by less-than-heroic (read: selfish) objectives, but is essentially like a much more honorable NominalHero. The actual trope page for NominalHero, on the other hand, seems to imply that it\'s the only kind of selfishly-motivated antihero. What gives?
