Harry Dresden, of course.
But also;

Garion from David Edding's Belgariad/Mallorean series.
The Cat from Grant Naylor's Red Dwarf.

Haplo from Weis & Hickman's Death Gate Cycle0 -
I'm seeing a lot of authors from the ROC publishing company. I like! I honestly haven't picked up a book that has that publishing stamp on it that I don't like. I'll have to check out some of those other authors.
Right now, my favorite would have to be Jesse James Dawson from K.A. Stewart's books. He's such a badass. Long haired, sarcastically hilarious modern day samurai who kills demons for a living. Sounds like a bad anime, but the books are FANTASTIC. Start with A Devil In The Details.0 -
Vlad Taltos from several of Steven Brust's books.
I have to say I like Vlad as well.
I have a soft spot for Talia from Arrows of The Queens Series (mercedes lackey) as she was my first real fantasy book I got into when I was a kid.
I really liked Ford Perfect from the Hitchhikers books.0 -
Eric Northman. I like book Eric better than tv Eric.
Scratch that. Pam in the books is even cooler than Eric.0 -
Haviland Tuf from Tuf Voyaging!

Miriam from the Blackbird series by Chuck Wendig
Annika from Meljean Brooks Iron Seas Romance Novels
John Matthew from JR Wards Black Dagger Brotherhood Novels
Frankenstein's Monster from Frankenstein by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley0 -
I would have to say that my favorite is Agent Aloysius Pendergast in the Preston/Child novels. He's just awesome with his super intelligence, Sherlockian tendencies, and the fact that he has an evil, criminally insane younger brother just makes him more interesting!
Fab books ...... but I am ticked off that Agent Pendergast was totally left out of the movie "Relic" ...... dumbnuts :grumble:
And I liked Paul Atreides (Paul Maud'Dhib) in the "Dune" books ....... better than the movies ......0 -

In reference to my earlier post, I started reading The Dresden Files. I'm seeing some similarities between Mr. Dresden and Mr. Dawson. Based on the publishing dates, the character in Stewart's novels is probably heavily influenced by Butcher's character. Quite good. I'm enjoying the books so far.

Nathanial and Edward from the Anita Blake series (I will agree with the earlier post...the sex just got to be too much).
Jinx from The Hallows
Lestat (really, how could you not love him?)
I'm not completely sure if it would fall in the sci-fi/fantasy but...Hatter Madigan from The Looking Glass Wars Trilogy by Frank Beddor
And now I definitely need to look into the Dresden Files.0 -
