Some of my darlings:
Alexander Smollett - Treasure Island, R L Stevenson (Because he takes no crap from smelly pirates nor bumbling squres.)
Thomas Babbington - Aubrey/Maturin series, Patrick O'Brian (Because he's a pint-sized sex machine AND a kick-ass sailor and simply adorable/amusing. And he got propositioned to by a monkey and he ate the doctor's rat.)
Vladimir Lensky - Eugene Onegin, Aleksandr Pushkin (WHY DID YOU KILL HIM ONEGIN YOU BASTARD!!!1!!ONE!)
Gilderoy Lockhart - Harry Potter series, J K Rowling (You have to admire a con artist of that calibre. Also: he was so darn sweet in OotP.)
