Yes. Example: Bilbo Baggins of The Hobbit is Pure of Heart, he certainly has no intent to go on any adventures or help slay dragons, he is pressured into helping and even then only stays with the Dwarves because he doesn't want to be put on the spot. The boss from Saints Row, dispute being a player-controlled-character is shown in cut screens to be essentially a sociopath, he/she is really only brought up as a protagonist/antagonist because outside forces keep starting crap with her/him. And just to see the opposite can be in effect too, look at Pai Mei from Kill Bill. Here is a sociopath who helps the main heroine, purely because he finds her to be a worthy pupil, not for any sense of morality, the plot revolves around the heroine to overcoming her obstacles Pai Mei prepared his best student for.

These examples are not common, but they do occur. Be skeptical of overlap but Heroes by proxy and Villains by Proxy can still be Pure of hearts and Sociopaths
