Mine is Luke Castellan from Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Before I explain, let me warn you that there will be spoilers in my explanation.
First of all, let me tell you what Luke's final objective was. He wants to tear down the Western Civilization by eliminating the Greek Gods. In order to do that, he revived Chronos the Titan. Why does Luke wants to do that? Because his father Hermes gave him a quest which was already done by Hercules. Not only was Luke given a quest already done by someone, he has failed the said quest too. That made him very salty and bitter. Yup. he betrayed his friends and family, manipulated some of them, killed and indirectly killed lots of humans and mythological creatures, and started a huge war just because he's a big baby.
And this isn't the worst part. The worst part is that he was given a hero's treatment at the end of the series. Heck, there was even a huge Prophecy which spoke of him. See, he lend his body to Chronos and became the latter's host. Just when things were about to go real bad, Luke stabbed himself with a knife to kill himself and got Chronos out of his body. And that made him a hero.
?????
I should repeat that it was his fault that Chronos was able to come back to life in the first place. And just because he sacrificed himself, his past sins were forgiven? By this logic of Uncle Rick the author, it's like saying you can start a fire to burn down a building and roast half its inhabitants alive, but you can be forgiven completely and not put in jail if you put out the fire that you yourself started in the first place.
I love the series a lot, but this part always made me mad. I saw a random video reviewing the movie in Youtube just now, and I remembered how much I hated how Luke was treated, hence I wrote this post. Thanks for reading.
