I was thinking of Death Note (Light) and Code Geass (Lelouch) as well
Death Note was the top show that came to my mind, he easily killed off criminals with the sense of it being justice. When people that were not criminals were involved, he eventually killed them off as well with a cold, dark attitude. Code Geass well the main character is dark for a reason. But he does send people to their deaths with either a joy or no expression at all.

I don't think the OP meant morally conflicted characters. I think he meant dark and cold personality.
Umm.... I'm trying to think of a good example. Batman is the only one that comes to mind off hand. Maybe Wolverine in his calmer incarnations. They fight for what's right and good, but they are kind of chilly about it. Hmm... in anime the only main character I can think of like that is... Kyon from HaruhiSuzumiya. Sort of anyway. I guess those characters are usually the side characters, not the Hero.

Anime with a dark main character?
The Boondocks. Just kidding. An anime that fits your request well is Gundam 00. It has not 1, but 4 main male characters who work for a terrorist group trying to force peace upon the world. And yes, each and every one of them is angsty and tragic in his own way. Setsuna in particular is cold and ruthless. |
