Rowley Jefferson

Rowley Jefferson is Greg Heffley'sforced best friend, deuteragonist, and occasionally antagonist in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. He has overprotective parents who aren't fond of Greg's behavior, assuming that he is a bad influence (which for several reasons he mostly is). He was the main antagonist in Diary of a Wimpy Kid, but is then often seen as an anti-hero in the series, despite being the main character's best friend, as he often does idiotic, nonsensical things to get Greg in trouble while he gets off scot-free. Despite this idiotic behavior, though, Rowley always wishes the best for everyone.
