In some way, Esteban can be described as both an AntiHero and AntiVillain at the same time.

First he secretly betrayed his family to Shuriki, which resulted in Elena's parents dying, and the rest of his family being sealed away for a long time. He was deeply remorseful about it and worked to improve the lives of citizens and helped Elena defeat Shuriki as penance, but he also refuses to come clean with the secret of how he betrayed them to start with (though he wanted to, yet Elena didn't believe it) and despite the disastrous results of his ambition before, he still lusted for glory and seeks to undermine Elena at any opportunity he can. But he is still cautious about actually crossing the line into betraying her or his family again and doesn't want them to come to harm on his account, and fears losing them above all else.

And then when his tragic secret gets exposed, he'd rather run away with extremely dangerous criminals that threaten the sake of Avalor and his family, although he's not happy about teaming up with them.

So basically, he's a pretty morally complicated character. Probably one of the most complex Disney characters
