Yeah - he was neither antagonist nor protagonist - he was actually a bit of both.

In Season One he's very like Iago in Othello - only Jackson HAD a motive for his actions and Iago just made up motives to justify his actions.

Jackson was a schemer out for himself alone - he didn't bear any particular ill will toward Scott personally - he simply wanted what Scott had and pursued it without moral compass.

Once he becomes the Kanima he's a bit like the monster from Frankenstein - again a blurry antagonist/protagonist hybrid who is the tragic victim of another's evil.
