Just because you are a hero, doesnt mean you are a good guy. As said by Thalia, Luke had an anger growing in him even before Kronos made contact. Luke in the first book tried to kill Percy, in the second book lead an army of monsters and once again tried to kill Percy, almost killed Annabeth in the third while also leading an army of monster against the protagonists. Tried to wipe out camp in the fourth and gave up his body for Kronos before leading a charge against the Olympians in the 5th. He sacrificed himself at the end making him a hero, but he was very much the antagonist of the series as Kronos acted very little in comparison, only appearing in dreams for most of the series while Luke was actively working to destroy the gods under his orders.
