These characters have impartial or mixed morality, meaning they are neither heroes or villains.

At times, these characters can perform acts of justice or injustice inconsistently (such as Xydarone IV, Dean Rattvisa, or Carl Alex). A neutral character can also be an average civilian with no true or conscious involvement in the main plot of a story (such as Wesley Denkenberger or Jackson Walltalker).

Furthermore, some of these characters may evolve into legitimate heroes or villains over time.
