البطل
if u mean the protagonist.
as a literal translation, u can use :الشخص الجيد
In a movie context, better use البطل

: ليس بالضرورة أن يكون البطل طيبا، مثال: عادل إمام في عدة أدوار يظهر كلص (حرامي) وزير نساء وغيرها من الصفات القبيحة ومع ذلك المخرج يدغدغ مشاعرنا ويرغمنا (بشكل عجيب) على التعاطف معه وأن نتمنى له الفوز. شيء عجيب فعلا أن ننصّب شخصا بهذه الصفات بطلا!

Nice point.This is a real paradox as you have pointed out, so though he is a swindler, a killer, we do sympathise with him and consider him the “good guy” and we want him to win!! Examples are numberless.
