By definition the only difference between a "hero" and an "anti-hero" is that an anti-hero uses morally questionable (or downright evil) means to enforce and bring about good intentions. To that effect, I think Rachel could be seen more as an "anti-villain" or possibly even a well-intentioned extremist rather than simply an anti-hero.

And as much as I love the series I wouldn't call Baam and Rachel unusual. And in terms of their past, potential and inner opinions being unknown, the same could be said for a whole host of other characters. As for their desires, it was pretty clear what they were in Part 1 and only started getting less clear in Part 2. Their desires are only slightly ambiguous now that the Hell Train arc has started (and even so that applies more to Rachel).
