The Antihero

Brass knuckles type of brave 
no promises but pure of heart;
No reason to care, the antihero;

Shadows blanket the antihero,
runs alone forced to be brave; 
Ice in their veins, reckless heart; 

Conflict tugs at the heart,
the dichotomy of the antihero;
Nothing to lose, not really brave;

The brave heart of the antihero.

Nice descriptive wording here. It looks like you're describing a typical collector for a loan shark.
