He could either be a hero or a coward, i dont think this paragraph provided enough info.

He could have been running from a group of antagonists that he slayed, or he could be running from the antagonists out of hear.

I think the answer is a coward, because it says he's running towards the rear of his group, with a look of fear on his face because of all the terrible things he's imagining.
