    My nick "Cain" is centered around that guy ;)

    He's from Robert Ludlum's Bourne series

    Jason bourne A.K.A Cain A.K.A David Webb A.K.A something I don't remember now :D

    Also Sean Dillion from any of the Jack Higgins books, I always loved his interrogations -

    Sean : 'Asks the question'

    Bad dude : Go to hell!

    Sean : *BLAM!* (bullet to the thigh or knee or earlobe)

    Bad dude : OkOk!!!!!!!!!!!

    Short and sweet :D

    hmmm...

    Interesting, I guess I should perhaps mention some less obscure characters!

    Pandora, from the Vampire Series. She even got her own book!

    Pretty much most of the characters from Harry Potter (It is being released today at midnight!)

    Dang, missed that one.

    Give me any character from a Chuck Palahniuk novel. They're all well-written.

    'Lucifer' from John Milton's Paradise Lost. I love the way Milton toys with our sympathies for the Devil!

    Terry Pratchet's 'Death' is great too! :D

    Oh, and of course, 'Kojiro' and 'Matahatchi' in Eiji Yoshikawa's Musashi

    Matt_Bernius a student and a teacher

    Who pops to mind at the moment:

    Novels - Phillip Marlowe - Raymond Chandler's most famous creation set the bar for Private Investigators. A pragmatic street poet, Marlowe became the model for all that followed.

    Comics - Elijha Snow - Warren Ellis' Cold ******* from Planetary. 100 years old and a mystery Acheologist fighting to keep the World a wierd place.
