Antagonist

A character who creates issues for the protagonist and characters related to them. In adventurous franchises, the most important antagonist is the Villain, the greatest threat to the Hero and their team if a Conflict is not present. In non-adventurous franchises, the title of "main antagonist" may become somewhat harder to define as it could belong to the most recurrent or powerful antagonist like a Rival or Company Head respectively. Generally, antagonists are more powerful than protagonists, both on an individual and group level, yet they tend to lose more often as Good Always Prevails.
