Name that archetype!

Suppose that for the sake of convenience, we call a person who is highly dynamic and has socially desirable traits (a good guy) a "hero," and a person who is highly dynamic and has socially undesirable traits (a bad guy) is a "villain." Then suppose a person who is more quiet and calm but has socially desirable traits is called a "saint"* - what would be a good general term for a person who is quiet and calm, yet unfriendly, dishonest, stupid, foolish, hateful, irresponsible, etc.?

* Yes, in practice, real saints could certainly be activists. You're welcome to suggest alternatives for "saint," too.
