I’m going to have to say Robert Maclaighean. He’s a vital character from the alternate history setting I’m working on (basically he’s one of the aspects that cause this version of history to be wildly different from ours). He’s not the hero of the setting, but he’s not a villain either
I also always like characters who constantly go through changes. Maclaighean goes from foppish brat to whiny foot soldier to badass officer to tactical revolutionary to rebellious freedom fighter to bitter despot. Reality catches up with him, and all he has fought for crumbles to dust in his fingers.
