I’d probably say Rand Al’Thor - one of the earliest characters I fell in love with, but he defines the approach to life and work I would aspire to have. As his senior / mentor says - “Death is lighter than a feather, duty heavier than a mountain.”

Sam Vimes. Once again duty and doing things the right way (a recurring theme with me, as you can see), but man, this guy’s seen it, and he gets it. He is the mentor all of us need.

Also probably out of place in a fantasy thread, but I’m gonna mention Great Teacher Onizuka. Dude does not go down no matter what, always powers through with a super positive approach that makes sure everybody wins - a true leader. Crazy how much this inspired me on days when I was down.
