Jukka Sarasti, the reconstructed homo vampiris captain of the good (space)ship Theseus, which appears in Peter Watts' Blindsight, the best sci-fi novel written this millenium, is pretty awesome. :thumb001:

Volker and Hagen of the Nibelungenlied. I love the scene when Hagen lops the ferrymans head off after the bold ferryman hits him over the head with a shovel :D. And Volker, well he is the most bad ass minstrel there ever was.
Although, I don't ever think I could forgive Hagen for his treachery against Siegfried.
Robert Heinlein's Woodrow Wilson Smith, AKA Lazarus Long, Senior of the Howard Families.
Karl Edward Wagner's Kane, the Immortal, is another favorite.
Tolkien's Turin Turumbar and Feanor embody the tragic I love so much in literature. Children of Hurin is really, in my opinion, the best of Tolkien's writing.
Batman, again I love the tragic nature and humaness of Bruce Wayne, easily one of the most complex creations.
Beowulf, fiction in a sense but more in the realm of mythology and deity. In the same sphere Achilles and Hector.
any one think this is a co-incidence:
*Quote:
Woodrow Wilson Smith may refer to:
- Woodrow Wilson Smith, birthname of Lazarus Long, fictional character from R. A. Heinlein's books
- Woodrow Wilson Smith, pseudonym of Henry Kuttner (1915–1958), American science fiction author
