For me I'd say that Hannibal was the most interesting. It wasn't just is personality that astounded me, it was the way he thought and was able to move. So, who did you find interesting?

For me, it was Raskolnikov in Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment. For me, he was truly human. Most characters I come across are just goody 2shoes who do the right thing...yawn.. I hate that....I haven't read Hannibal yet....I will now though...I'm glad I'm not the only one who enjoys evil.....erm humanity

Hercule Poirot, a detective from Agatha Christie's books, he is absolutely outragous, he is arrogant and shamelessly proud, he professes ideas, then states that he is an exception! He is old fashioned, brilliant, and somehow manages to always be (infuriatingly) right. I always wonder about how he thinks. How he became the person he was. He was a great person, truly GREAT. He thought the ends justified the means, and "did not condone murder." He would lie when it would help him solve a case. He had morals, but didn't have any at the same time.
Of course, he did end up dying for what he considered most important, the happiness of others. Which sort of redeems him, even if he did leave a note behind instructing two of his friends to get married.
He always annoyed me, but he commanded my respect at the same time.

Raskolnikov, hands down. He's such an intriguing character. Dostoevsky creates the perfect morally ambiguous character which can be both profoundly evil and good.
I also adore Larry Darrell from W. Somerset Maugham's The Razor's Edge. He's a true wanderer and does anything regardless of what others may think. It's his love of knowledge that leads him to do everything, which is a similar characteristic I see in myself sometimes.

I have to give major kudos to Nemek. Valentine Micheal Smith was amazing!!
I'd also have to say Howard Roark from Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead" - you can't help but be astounded by this man.

In Watership Down, by Richard Adams, I like El-ahrairah, the subject of stories among the rabbits. His tales of trickery are cunning and thought-provoking.

I think that Valentine Michael Smith, the main character in Heinlein's 'Stranger in a Strange Land' because he was so naive, but he understood so much more than anyone else and was able to sacrifice himself to save humanity.

I would say Andrew Wiggins in Ender's Game. He was just a kid, but he was older than his years mentally. The growing he did during the book was intense.

The Monster in Mary Shelly's Frankenstein because he's completely different from what Hollywood makes Frankenstein out to be.
