Hey, and what about the noble, charismatic and surely also long-lived (had it not been for the unfortunate Éomer incident, but: respect!) Uglúk? For one, I don't have any problem with the Legolas-Gimli competition (only with the disgraceful joke they made out of it in the movie!!!), Orcs are often seen just as "dark horde" and I accept them as they are portrayed. But the other point of view is also possible, and some of the Orc individuals are indeed remarkable! In fact, all of them.
Anyway, as to the voting at hand, I am going to vote for
++Túrin
for he is indeed a very complex character and while I did not start to like him rightaway, lately, when reading his tale (before it was possible to read in CoH, which is even better, yay!), I started to like his character. Wow, imagine a guy like that in Saruman's ranks... (okay, I see I am starting to follow a strange pattern of thoughts...)
Nothing against Gimli (he is a Dwarf, but an Elf-friend, so no hard feelings
), but he just is not as interesting, to say it simply without tons of unnecessary words
