Yeah, the OP beat me to it with his answer, but Jack of Blade. I'm not sure what's not to love about that guy. He's witty, has an awesome dress sense, has an awesome name, single-handedly destroys a guild of heroes and then proceeds to turn into a FREAKING DRAGON... and even after you, as the player, eventually stops him, you have the option of wearing his mask and becoming him.
Hence, he can live on.
