"Protagonist", when the two terms actually refer to different concepts.
The "protagonist" is the central character of a story, the one whose viewpoint is used to tell the story. There is only one of these in each story, with similar character called "{{Deuteragonist}}", "Tritagonistor" or just "ensemble cast". There is no morality inherent to any of these terms.
The term "hero" could mean different things [[VirtueViceCodification depending on what the author considers to be a heroic action or stance]].
