            Some of my favourites are Juan Rico from Heinlein's Starship Troopers, Toranaga from Clavell's Shogun, and Faramir from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. In all cases, the characters from the books not the movies!


            But I can also vote for Sir John Falstaff:

            Falstaff. I am as hot as molten lead, and as heavy too: God keep lead out of me! I need no more weight than mine own bowels. I have led my ragam(u)ffins where they are peppered: there's not three of my hundred and fifty left alive; and they are for the town's end, to beg during life...I like not such grinning honour as Sir Walter hath: give me life: which if I can save, so; if not, honour comes unlooked for, and there's an end.

            Or how about Childe Roland:

            Originally posted by Browning

            If at his counsel I should turn aside
            Into that ominous tract which, all agree,
            Hides the Dark Tower. Yet acquiescingly
            I did turn as he pointed: neither pride
            Nor hope rekindling at the end descried,
            So much as gladness that some end might be.

            ...

            Thus, I had so long suffered in this quest,
            Heard failure prophesied so oft, been writ
            So many times among "The Band"--to wit,
            The knights who to the Dark Tower's search addressed
            Their steps--that just to fail as they, seemed best,
            And all the doubt was now--should I be fit?

            ...

            Not hear? When noise was everywhere! It tolled
            Increasing like a bell. Names in my ears
            Of all the lost adventurers my peers,--
            Of how such a one was strong, and such was bold,
            And such was fortunate, yet each of old
            Lost, lost! One moment knelled the woe of years.

            There they stood, ranged along the hillsides, met
            To view the last of me, a living frame
            For one more picture! In a sheet of flame
            I saw them and I knew them all. And yet
            Dauntless the slug-horn to my lips I set,
            And blew. "CHILDE ROLAND TO THE DARK TOWER CAME."

                            Brigadier-General Sir Harry Paget Flashman VC KCB KCIE (5th May 1822 - 1915).;) :)
