Best character of all time?

What character do you like the most, from anything - Film, Books, TV, Video games etc ?

It's a tough question.

But seeing as I just got up to date with Breaking Bad, I'm going to say Walter "Heisenberg" White. He's a good guy doing bad things for his family. Honestly there could be easily 100 more I could choose.

Solid Snake. His zany antics on Shadow Moses has endeared this loveable rapscallion to gamers all over the world.

The way he ended up murdering his son ruined Heisenberg for me.

And

Nick Naylor from Thank You For Smoking

Count Dracula would be up there, the amount of variations of the character that have existed is crazy, with the original book being the best version naturally enough. The influence the character has had on the horror genre alone is probably unmatched.

Paulie Walnuts in the Sopranos is who I would consider my favourite, as opposed to best, per se. Such an all round loveable lunatic.

Vito Corleone.

Absolutely fascinating character and you can chronicle his life from Sicily to becoming the most powerful Mafia head in America. You learn much more about his life in the novel but Pacino and De Niro do fantastic portrayals of him in the films as well.
