Anti-Hero

Anti-hero: a protagonist or notable figure who is conspicuously lacking in heroic qualities

Zaat herself, can be seen as a sort of anti-hero with flawed characteristics such as a tendency to stretch the truth and an explosive temper. 

A more distinguished anti-hero in pop culture would be the secretly noble and yet completely infuriating Severus Snape.
