Pragmatists

Pragmatic Heroes who follow practical considerations above traditional morals, values or taboos. They're also willing to resort to dirty tactics to win a battle, or they'd be willing to lie, cheat, steal, offend, or just generally 'play dirty' in order to save the day. It’s the opposite of Honorable as well as the heroic counterpart of Cheater.

It must be remembered that they're not rampant scoundrels who just happen to protect others, but heroes who resort to less than honorable methods in order to save others. In general, it will not be their default behavior, just how far they are willing to go - similar to Lethal heroes.

In darker moments, a Pragmatist may well be willing to abandon their own otherwise firm values to save others. These types of heroes are very Machiavellian in this way, because for them the "end justifies the means". It is common for pragmatic characters to be used to directly ignore/defy hero clichés in order to win.
