An antivillain is the opposite of an antihero. It's someone who, in a story, is trying to do the right thing but ends up impeding the protagonists. It could be someone who believes the villain is a good person and so helps them, someone who believes in misguided ideals, or someone who mistakes the hero for a villain.
