Rocky mountain bounty hunters cast6/10/2023 In that case, the best they can possibly be is a Nominal Hero who may hunt villains and do the right thing for all the wrong reasons. Sometimes the Bounty Hunter is a villain, a sadist who profits off the death and suffering of others and who couldn't care less about justice. The bounty hunter is one of the most diverse roles and depending on their choices (and their employers) they can be anything. Or if this occurs in a fictional setting, obviously. This has almost never been Truth in Television, though that problem can be Hand Waved if the bounty in question is exceptionally dangerous, put out by a criminal, or wanted by a corrupt, tyrannical, or failed state. These kinds of bounty hunters are often called "bounty killers" or, more pejoratively, "assassins" or "headhunters". But other times, especially in Westerns, the bounty hunter's reward is of the "Dead or Alive" variety, and many bounty hunters of the latter type kill their bounties rather than let them Run for the Border. Sometimes, the bounty hunter captures criminals and brings them back to face trial (which is how real bounty hunters operate nowadays). His line of work often makes him gruff and cynical, if he lives long enough, and in the eyes of some citizens, he may be only slightly better (or worse) than the criminals he hunts. Born of the Old West but found in many other genres since, the bounty hunter makes a living pursuing criminals for the price on their heads.
