Lovable Rogue	comment	A person who breaks the law, for their own personal profit, but is nice enough and charming enough to allow the audience to root for them, especially if they don't kill or otherwise seriously harm anyone. It helps that none of their victims are anyone we know or that they've made sure the audience knew they were jerks, which makes it "okay" to steal from them. For extra points, he may even give some of his takings to the poor. The most legitimate way to make this trope work is by making the rogue a Justified Criminal who steals only to survive in an uncaring world that leaves him with no other option, especially if the laws are unfair and benefit a select few at the expense of others, including the rogue. Note that while morally a click below your average antihero in the sense that they might not be considered a hero at all, the Lovable Rogue is strongly associated with highly Idealistic series on the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism, as Cynical series tend not to place value on the concept of a Code of Honor, which is usually what makes the Lovable Rogue, well, lovable. Their loyalties are often played with, particularly if they show up to rescue the hero. If they end up being the star of the show, expect a straight-arrow Supporting Protagonist to be the audience viewpoint character. Complicating matters further is the fact that this person is usually chased by a Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist. A click above the Lovable Traitor, who is definitely not a nice person, but wins by lowering the audience's expectations so much, that he charms them with a few token Pet the Dog moments (which usually include helping the hero. It's amazing how much fans will overlook if they help the hero). Usually male, but female thieves tend to be considered Lovable Rogues by default; i.e. they are not "rare". The g comes before the u, ladies and gentlemen. That is, unless you're talking about Rouge the Bat, who just happens to be a good example of this trope, in more ways than one. If the charming person is a villain instead of an Anti-Hero, then they are described as being Affably Evil. The audience will usually not root for a villain, even if he or she is Affably Evil. Usually. See also Gentleman Thief, Karmic Thief, Venturous Smuggler, Roguish Poacher, Indispensable Scoundrel, Justified Criminal, and Just Like Robin Hood. Contrast Evil Hero, where a person with a Noble Profession is evil.

Lovable Rogue / int_101bfcd7	comment	Chosokabe Motochika from Sengoku Basara is a kleptomaniac pirate known as the "Demon of the Western Sea" who crushes people's skulls with a giant anchor. However, once you get past this he's actually a fairly honest, charming, and good-hearted guy who values things like friendship and keeping promises, and overall one of the most honourable characters around.

Lovable Rogue / int_11d152d0	comment	Silk from Belgariad; popular enough that he was the only non-sorcerer member of the party (aside from the Love Interest Ce'Nedra) to star in both The Belgariad and its sequel, The Mallorean. David Eddings then put artistic street urchin and pickpocket Talen and Gentleman Thief Stragen into The Elenium and The Tamuli. The Tamuli also gained Caalador, a swindler and thieving coordinator who drops in and out of a folksy drawl whenever he feels like it. Queen Ehlana finds his routine charming, and at one point speculates on whether she can work the phrase "happier 'n' pigs in mud" into a royal proclamation, and his feigned accent is infectious enough that nearly everyone in the series imitates it at least once.

A band of teenage supervillains who rob banks and casinos and whatnot for fun and profit, all of them either have sympathetic motivations (like Grue) or extremely nasty backstories which guarantee that they couldn't have normal lives even if they wanted to for reasons largely beyond their control. As the Villain Protagonists of the story, they tend to fluctuate between putting their lives on the line for the greater good and trying to Take Over the City.

Lovable Rogue / int_1ef6a11b	comment	Seregil, one of the main characters in Lynn Flewelling's Nightrunner series also fits this trope to a T. He will steal from even relatively poor people if he must (e.g., stealing horses from a farm while on the run) and he has no problems with killing in self-defense, but mainly he steals stuff like jewelry from the rich and even that only occasionally - his primary occupation and purpose in life is to be a spy working for the Crown and other governmental functionaries of his adopted home country, and these days his wealth is mostly based on legitimate investments he made with the valuables he stole or won in his youth. And he cares very deeply about behaving honorably in those areas of life that the readers will care aboutnote E.g., he angsts a great deal about not letting his 17-year-old apprentice know that he's developed romantic feelings for him because he knows that this is an unequal situation that might lead the teenager to feel pressured into complying. Nobody else in this quasi-medieval setting where girls get married at 15 sees any problem with this potential relationship, but Seregil seems to have distinctly modern attitudes about meaningful consent, at least for male/male relationships.. The "lovable" aspects of the trope are in full effect in order to make him look like a believable love interest for the other main character Alec, who starts out as an innocent, good-hearted and law-abiding male version of the classic ingenue and thus would not have wanted to join Seregil as an apprentice if the man didn't quickly turn out to have a lot of charm, a good sense of humor, and a heart of gold.note If the first books in this series hadn't been published in the mid-1990s, you couldn't be faulted for suspecting that they started out as Pirates of the Caribbean slashfic, with just the serial numbers filed off and the setting changed to something less nautical adventure and more cloak-and-dagger type fantasy - so similar are the main characters to Captain Jack Sparrow (minus the drunkenness) and the initially straight-laced William.

She also steals money by charming men, however, despite flirting with every female she engages in conversation with. In Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, there's Legault. Whether he's Ambiguously Bi or not (the fandom still hasn't decided), he sure is a charmer. Gaius, from Awakening, is first seen with a band of assassins with designs on killing the Exalt, having been led to believe they were just there to rob the place. He's... upset when he finds out the truth, and joins the party at the prospect of free candy as well as being in more savory company.

Not to mention the fact that he scams the police department, regularly, by pretending to be a psychic. Oh, and the various crimes and misdemeanors he perpetrates in every single episode. But he only does those things to solve worse crimes (and the first time, to keep from being wrongfully arrested)!... And also sometimes for fun. And wrongfully arrested for essentially doing the police department's job for them. Constantly. If anyone is justified for irreverent behavior towards law enforcement, it's Shawn. Basically, the cops would rather arrest him for being involved in a crime than believe he's that good at spotting things.

He's a small-time conman who largely uses his tricks to wrangle petty cash from customers and free drinks from the Cheers staff, but his crimes are so harmless, and Harry so charming, that the audience laughs at his antics. It helps that Harry's victims often claim they're too smart to fall for his latest con, so their falling for them comes across as Laser-Guided Karma rather than cruelty. Harry also gets Lovable points for being surprisingly protective of the Cheers gang and teaming up with them to take down genuinely mean-spirited swindlers and crooks.

Lovable Rogue / int_2dfb1427	comment	Baldur's Gate: Imoen, your little sister from the first two games definitely qualifies, though she dual-classes into a Squishy Wizard in the sequel. Her merciless torture at the hands of Jon Irenicus is a vicious Player Punch and one of the main reasons for you to hate Irenicus' guts. Yoshimo also works hard to project this image, although there are moments where it's a little off. From all indications, he was 100% this trope prior to selling his life and soul to Irenicus. Saemon Havarian probably works as this as well, if not for the fact that half of the time the one he's screwing over is you. He seems to hold no ill will towards you or anyone despite throwing you to the wolves repeatedly to save his own skin (and he does seem to have an interest in defeating the Big Bad as long as he's not in the direct line of fire), and you have the option of having CHARNAME reciprocate. After about the third time he backstabs you the dialogue offers the line that it's basically just Saemon being Saemon. Astarion from Baldur's Gate III is a Chaotic Evil vampire Rogue, and a flamboyant, Laughably Evil, Large Ham who lives for causing mischief and acts as a cheerleader to a more malicious player character.

However, Picard notices that everything on Rios's ship is impeccably maintained to Starfleet standards, right down to every bolt, clasp, and fitting. He then tells Rios that the latter may be out of Starfleet, but he's still Starfleet to the core. A look into his Dark and Troubled Past reveals that he was a model Starfleet officer until his beloved captain/father figure murdered two alien ambassadors under a "black-flag directive" from Starfleet Security (i.e. comply or their ship would be destroyed). Said captain then Ate His Gun, leaving Rios to clean up the mess; this would lead to Rios suffering a mental breakdown that ended his Starfleet career and left him disillusioned and bitter.

Lovable Rogue / int_3501cc23	comment	The Gentleman Bastard series by Scott Lynch basically runs on this trope, with the main character Locke Lamora being a textbook example, except for an unusual lack of flirtiness/promiscuity. Still, he's got the quick wits, he's got the snarky sense of humor, and while he will kill or torture people who have harmed those he loves, he's got unusually high-minded ethics in comparison to practically everyone else in the setting - especially after the author slightly retcons the basic tenets of the character's deeply held religious faith in the second book to be more politically-minded (teach the rich and powerful a lesson) than simply amoral (steal from those who have money because you can). He's still no Robin Hood (he doesn't give away the money to the poor), but he doesn't steal to enrich himself but mainly uses his ill-gotten gains to plan and execute more heists designed to embarrass and harm the oppressive and often sociopathic upper class. The rest of the Gentlemen Bastards crew also count, especially the Sansa twins and Sabetha (the former are more humorous clowns, the latter is more the charming con artist).

Lovable Rogue / int_3692a962	comment	Yuri from Lord of War is a very prolific, very successful Arms Dealer, selling weapons to the worst kinds of dictators and mass murderers, and doesn't feel much remorse for being indirectly responsible for the thousands, possibly millions of deaths caused by his weapons. And yet, his amoral and aloof attitude is exactly why he's so charming. He doesn't sell weapons out of politics or a personal vendetta, but because it's a business to him, and he's a really good businessman who takes care of his customers. His likability is improved because he doesn't flinch when being threatened with own weapons, casually entertains special requests from his customers like he were recommending wine, and the people he deals with are infinitely worse than he is.

Lovable Rogue / int_40eb68d8	comment	There's a number of them in Honorverse, given the scale of the whole franchise. Sir Horace Harkness, PMV, before being "reformed" was a classic thieving, brawling, moonshining rascal â€” with an unshakeable moral code and a soft spot a mile wide. Later he toned down the "rascal" part, though he remained a firm believer that it's not an offense unless you get caught. Jeremy X, a Torch Minister of War, is an ex-genetic slave often described as a lovechild between Joker and Punisher, doing Very Bad Things to Very Bad People, dancing and cracking jokes all the while â€” he was created as a house entertainer, after all, and is a totally swell guy, unless you happen to be somehow linked to the industry of genetic slavery â€” in which case taking your own life would probably be the easiest option. Damien "Firebrand" Harahap is an Affably Evil Mesan Agent Provocateur in the "Wages of Sin" subseries, who manages somehow to get liked by everyone, from his marks to his counterparts on the heroes' side. Being an Anti-Villain who just punches his hours working for the main villains, he later has a change of heart and defects to the heroes' side.

Lovable Rogue / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: Moist von Lipwig is one of these turned Boxed Crook. There's a bit of Deconstruction on the idea that he's only conned big businesses and people who deserved it and never hurt anyone. Mr Pump reckons that, if you add up the amount of harm he's done, it's equivalent to killing 2.338 people, and this really gets brought home when it turns out his girlfriend lost her job when he defrauded the bank she worked for. The TV miniseries subverts the expectations even more harshly; he apparently drove at least two people to suicide, and one innocent to prison, since he failed to realize that banks themselves would never admit mistakes on their part. It also multiplies the indirect deaths he's caused by a factor of (nearly) ten to 22.8. Night Watch's Carcer Dun is a subversion; Vimes notes that he certainly looks and acts like one of your standard cheeky-yet-lovable-rascal types, but if you look closer you'll realize what an insane and unrepentant monster he is. Reacher Gilt is a subversion, a pretty nasty piece of work who charms people with his florid, pseudo-pirate style — he even has a parrot that squawks "twelve and a half percent" (work it out... ) This applies to an entire race with the Nac Mac Feegle, "a bunch of thieving, drunken reprobates and scoff-laws with no respect for the law whatsoever." And subverted again in a Moist book with the Lavish ancestors in Making Money, some of whom are described in the family history as "rogues" ... except what that means is "slavers and pirates, but a long time ago, so it barely counts".

Although his initial pose as an "honorable thief" is a sham, he soon grows attached to the group in spite of himself, risking himself to save them and displaying a sentimental side. Of course, none of this Character Development makes him less inclined to keep stealing whenever he sees the chance because it's the quickest way to get money, he's good at it, and he enjoys it.

An old maxim of roleplaying states that "A thief or rogue character will never be morally centrist. He will either be a good-natured chap who steals from people who deserve it and is the subject of much affection, or he will be a complete sociopath". There's an even better chance they won't be but will pretend they are.

However, he later shows up to save the heroes from zombies and becomes completely dedicated to their cause, to the point of nearly making a Heroic Sacrifice on Miaka's behalf. Plus, the actual thieving of Tasuki's thief gang is easy to ignore since they border on being The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything anyway (except when they briefly serve as The Cavalry later in the series, which makes their thieving even easier to ignore).

Lovable Rogue / int_85b855e2	comment	Talon Karrde has been said by his creator to be based on what Han Solo might have become in the years since the films if he hadn't fallen for Leia. Karrde developed from there — it's hard to imagine Solo running a large and well-organized smuggling/information brokering group — but the basic idea is the same. He's Not in This for Your Revolution, he has no love for the Empire but doesn't see the profit or point in open resistance, and he does have a sense of honor. The audiobook version of Heir to the Empire even felt the need to give him a Spanish accent.

Lovable Rogue / int_87c2b177	comment	Darien Fawkes in The Invisible Man. He's a notorious thief who only got caught last time because he tried to revive an old man he thought was having a heart attack (instead, he got convicted for attempted rape). His brother, an accomplished scientist, gets him out of prison to be the guinea pig for a top-secret project. After Darien gets the quicksilver gland, he can now become invisible at will. A dream come true for a thief. However, he needs regular injections of a counteragent that prevents him from going insane from quicksilver overdose, a deliberate flaw in the gland. Despite now working for a secret government agency, Darien still has plenty of roguish qualities, who loves to use his new ability to sneak into places he shouldn't (like spy on a guard and a nurse getting it on). However, in the series finale, the flaw in the gland is finally fixed, allowing him to be free from the Agency. The first thing he does is rob a place, only to leave the money on the sidewalk when he realizes he's not the same guy anymore.

Lovable Rogue / int_8b5820ed	comment	Red Dead Redemption: John Marston. In Red Dead Redemption 2, Arthur Morgan counts. While he's an outlaw who has killed many people in the past over money, with several negative flaws such as being prone to anger quickly, starting fights, maybe even shooting or knocking out someone at the drop of a hat, he's still rather very likable and can be a genuine Nice Guy when he wants to be, coming off as a Jerk with a Heart of Gold at best who's loyal to the people in his camp and friends, showing kindness and being compassionate to innocent townsfolk while often lending a hand to those he comes across, even willing to suck some venom out of a man's leg! Many women find him charming and men think he's a gentleman, although he'll often deny this and tell him he's really a bad man. He highly respects women, talks to them in a respectful manner, and agrees with their rights to be able to vote (speaking the game takes place in a time period where women were treated in disregard and seen as the property of their husbands) and thinks nothing bad of women who can hold her own and often encourages and supports them. He even shows one of them how to shoot a gun properly and being patient with her. He'll even bust doors down and throw up all Hell if he finds out about a woman is being raped or threatened somewhere. He doesn't support racism and is courteous to people of all races. One of his best friends is a black man. Not to mention that he's really affectionate with his horses and dotes on them, and also the stray dogs he meets, and has a low tolerance of animal abuse. He also enjoys literature and can often be seen writing in his journal to reflect on his thoughts and feelings throughout the game, with aesthetically pleasing handwriting and reveals a very eloquent and even sensitive side you'd never guess he'd have, even self-doubting himself at times. He tries his darndest towards redeeming himself towards the end of the game, doing everything he can to help others before his sickness takes over. Dutch is a subversion. He describes his philosophy as "we shoot fellers as need shooting, save fellers as need saving, and feed 'em as need feeding." This attitude has garnered immense loyalty from his gang, who view themselves as an entire group of lovable rogues. However, as the gang's fortunes worsen, Dutch becomes increasingly violent and obsessed with vengeance against people who have wronged him (or possibly wronged him). A frequent topic of discussion in the later half of the game is whether Dutch used to be a genuine lovable rogue or if he was just Faux Affably Evil all along.

It also helps that he's the character providing most of the game's snarkiest lines. He bounces some of the best lines off of Ellis because of this.

Lovable Rogue / int_bb1b8e8c	comment	In Critical Role's first campaign, Scanlan was a textbook example of this trope, as can be expected of a gnomish bard played by a trained comedian and musical/voice actor who is old enough to fully embrace his attention-seeking personality 'flaw' and turn it into a virtue for the entertainment of his friends. Vax and Vex might also count since they each have levels in the Rogue character class and Vex can be very charming and has stolen a few things. Vax, despite being the main Rogue of the Vox Machina party, never actually steals anything (at least during the broadcast parts of their adventures) and he's probably the kindest and most empathetic male character in the groupnote And he's played by the player who seems most interested in playing out sweet/awkward romance scenes, as well as being really invested in playing out his close and supportive relationship with his fictional sister Vex., though he also enjoys playing pranks on those of his male friends with whom he has a Vitriolic Best Buds type relationship. (See also: the entry for Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder above, since those are the RPG systems this campaign was based on.)

But he has a moral code of "all in the game," he never hurts or robs civilians, he's kind to children, he spends much of his loot on taking care of his grandmother, and he is just too lovable for the audience not to, well, love. On the law's side there's Jimmy McNulty. He breaks rules that he considers unjust, cares more about catching murderers than busting petty corner dealers, and refuses to juke the stats to make crime look artificially low. His inveterate womanizing has already cost him a marriage, but his heart is decent enough that his eventual love interest, Beadie, seems willing to give him a second chance in the end. And unlike the traditional Cowboy Cop, he disdains violence and shows of force, favoring cerebral (if illegal) investigative work. Donut is a cheerful, friendly middle-schooler ... and a skillful car thief by the age of thirteen. He's never violent or malicious; he just loves stealing cars.

While he's an outlaw who has killed many people in the past over money, with several negative flaws such as being prone to anger quickly, starting fights, maybe even shooting or knocking out someone at the drop of a hat, he's still rather very likable and can be a genuine Nice Guy when he wants to be, coming off as a Jerk with a Heart of Gold at best who's loyal to the people in his camp and friends, showing kindness and being compassionate to innocent townsfolk while often lending a hand to those he comes across, even willing to suck some venom out of a man's leg! Many women find him charming and men think he's a gentleman, although he'll often deny this and tell him he's really a bad man. He highly respects women, talks to them in a respectful manner, and agrees with their rights to be able to vote (speaking the game takes place in a time period where women were treated in disregard and seen as the property of their husbands) and thinks nothing bad of women who can hold her own and often encourages and supports them. He even shows one of them how to shoot a gun properly and being patient with her. He'll even bust doors down and throw up all Hell if he finds out about a woman is being raped or threatened somewhere. He doesn't support racism and is courteous to people of all races. One of his best friends is a black man. Not to mention that he's really affectionate with his horses and dotes on them, and also the stray dogs he meets, and has a low tolerance of animal abuse. He also enjoys literature and can often be seen writing in his journal to reflect on his thoughts and feelings throughout the game, with aesthetically pleasing handwriting and reveals a very eloquent and even sensitive side you'd never guess he'd have, even self-doubting himself at times. He tries his darndest towards redeeming himself towards the end of the game, doing everything he can to help others before his sickness takes over.

Lovable Rogue / int_eef69f10	comment	Jonathan Small, opponent of Sherlock Holmes in The Sign of the Four has committed various acts of murder and robbery, which he tells of in detail - and still has much of the reader's sympathy. He has a strong loyalty to his three co-conspirators; also, much of his story takes place in a quite brutal penal colony - and of course, in this situation, the reader tends to side with the prisoner against the guards.

Lovable Rogue / int_ef8b9cf2	comment	Former French President Jacques Chirac is portrayed this way in the satirical fake news show with puppets Les Guignols de l'Info, being shown to be a shameless liar (he even had another identity as Super Menteur, i.e. "Super Liar") while still remaining highly likable. It's thought this may have actually helped (the real) Jacques Chirac get re-elected.

His greatest weapon is his mouth, and he will say anything you want to hear, use any tactic you cannot anticipate, and charm the pants off your ankles while you thank him for the privilege.

Heâ€™s a petty thief living in the sewers of the gameâ€™s Hub City, but heâ€™s a good guy who joins the heroes out of a genuine desire to stamp out corruption and make the city safer for everyone.

He's an unrepentant hustler who's nowhere near as clever or charming as he thinks he is, but he has several important redeeming qualities: He never seriously harms anyone or even really breaks the law on-screen (severely bending the Trade Descriptions Act is about as bad as it gets), he's utterly loyal to his family and his motivation for everything he does is ultimately to lift himself and said family out of poverty. Boycie, originally a less lovable Sitcom Arch-Nemesis for Del Boy, developed into one following his own turn in the spotlight in The Green Green Grass.

Sure, they're pirates, but they aren't monsters out to cause destruction or harm people (that's just a side effect of piracy). Tron in particular, at the end of her spinoff game, goes out of her way to help Denise Marmalade, the rookie cop who tried (and failed) to arrest her a few times, by dropping other more dangerous criminals on her door and letting her take the credit for capturing them.

Lovable Rogue / int_fc281dbc	comment	The Sunne in Splendour: Played with. The charismatic Ned, the future King Edward IV, is introduced seducing his little brother Richard's nanny while Richard becomes lost in the forest. When Richard refuses to tattle on his brother, Ned realizes he's got an ally. Ned is not only The Casanova but a Warrior Prince who soon wins (or steals if you are a Lancaster) the crown and wins over the common people. When he is not forcing Scotland or France to pay him tribute, he does his best to rule fairly despite lining his own pockets, but he does alienate key allies when he marries for love and marrying for love doesn't stop him from having a Decadent Court with mistresses aplenty, including Jane Shore whom he seduced away from his Best Friend. The moralistic Richard grows up to be frustrated with his brother's carousing and is incensed that Ned's campaign in France seems motivated by money rather than honor but never stops being loyal.

What makes him so lovable is that he has a noble heart as he offers genuine help for his clients when it comes to solving their problems whether supernatural or psychological. He also provides meaningful wisdom to Mob and does what he can to protect him from dangerous threats.

She's also fiercely loyal to her crew, feeling quite guilty at fleeing when they were captured (not that anything else was really an option at the time), going back for them at the risk of her own life. Akella is also kind to people whom she gets close with, and like all Adessians is very protective about children. Her piracy all takes place off page (which apparently had included selling captives into slavery at times) which also helps.

Lovable Rogue / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation tried to pull one of these off in a second season episode, "The Outrageous Okona". While it didn't work too well, he was at least a little funny. It comes off as almost a parody of the concept; when it comes down to it he's just an eccentric delivery driver who does nothing illegal. On the other hand the original series did it very well with the immortal and immoral Harry Mudd, as well as the somewhat more benevolent Cyrano Jones. Mudd is brought back (or forward?) in Star Trek: Discovery, although the younger version is more "rogue" than "lovable". He becomes more like his TOS self in the "Escape Artist" short, trying to bullshit his way out of being turned over to Starfleet for a bounty. ST:TNG also had a supporting character named Vash, a female version of this trope who romanced Picard for a short time. For bonus irony points, Q casts her as Maid Marion in a Robin Hood fantasy.
