December 29, 2009
— Gabriel Malor These are the ones that left a mark, from all the types of fiction I consume: television, film, books, and video games. The only rule was that the character had to originate in the past decade. That knocked out some excellent characters that may have been created earlier, but who really came into their own in the past ten years. Thems the breaks, right?
I canÂ’t really describe an ordering principle for these like I did the villains list (racism!). I knew immediately who my favorite character of the decade was. In fact, I knew who the top few would be. The others fall pretty arbitrarily after that. One other thing I did was limit myself to one character per source. The truth is that folks who create one good character probably have a hella shot at creating several. IÂ’ve chosen my absolute favorite from within each source.
I recognize that a list like this will be even more subjective than a Top Film Villains list.
10. Luna Lovegood—Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Luna wasn’t introduced into the Harry Potter universe until 2003, making her eligible for the list. And I’m glad she is. Aside from Neville Longbottom, she’s one of the few characters in the series I like unreservedly. She has what the others lack: faith. In the early books Rowling is so busy building a believable universe she has über-rational Hermione explaining every last detail. Luna doesn’t need that explanation and she sees the world through different eyes.
9. Dr. Perry Cox—Scrubs
Perry was a condescending and sarcastic jerk with a heart of gold who, over the course of the series, dealt with aging, family, divorce, depression, and death. And this was a light-hearted comedy! He was well known for his epic rants.
8. Tidus—Final Fantasy X
I have been a fan of the Final Fantasy series since I got my grubby little fingers on the first one back in 1987. Over the years the games got prettier and the stories more complex, and powerful characterization became an inextricable part of the series. Tidus is the main character of Final Fantasy X. Supposedly a fish out of water seventeen year-old partial amnesiac, he and the player eventually come to realize that his role is much more complicated and sad. The story tricks you into believing that the big reveal will be “it was all a dream.” In the last chapter you get the opposite and, man, did that resonate.
7. Shaun—Shaun of the Dead
It was a simple message, but finely told. Pressed to the breaking point, this guy realized that family—his mother, his girlfriend, and his BFF—are what really matters. The fact that he manages to keep one-and-a-half of them alive says something right?
6. Captain Jack Sparrow—Pirates of the Caribbean
Another jerk with a heart of goldÂ…and IÂ’m just realizing that thereÂ’s yet another further down the list. Hmm, letÂ’s make no conclusions about what that says about me. Captain Jack was not always good, nor always bad. He was mostly interested in what was good for Captain Jack. Fortunately, the free-spirited pirate also had a soft spot for series protagonists Will and Elizabeth. Good for a quip and probably insane, I like Captain Jack for the same reason I like Luna: he has faith.
5. Ned the Piemaker—Pushing Daisies
The facts were these: Ned is the main character from the sadly cancelled series about a man gifted (and cursed) with a touch that can wake the dead. He and his delightfully named friends, Emerson Cod, Olive Snook, and Charlotte “Chuck” Charles, solve murders and work on their angsty pasts. Ned’s abandonment issues, his touch issues, and his quirky romance with formerly dead Chuck somehow made for laugh out loud television and a truly touching character. If you missed this show, here’s a glimpse.
4. Captain Malcolm Reynolds—Firefly/Serenity
The third jerk with a heart of gold on my list and the second pirate preoccupied with nagging morals, this guy needs no further explanation.
3. Donna Noble—Doctor Who
The DoctorÂ’s companion for just one season, Donna was a temp worker from London before seeking out the wider universe. She was curious, occasionally bumbling, but always insightful. The Doctor first described her as not special or clever. Boy was he wrong. Not a complex character, but certainly my favorite companion of the new series. And I might as well mention it again: she had faith.
2. President Laura Roslin—Battlestar Galactica
Of course you know I’d have to have someone from BSG on the list. In fact, a list of the decade’s best could have been made of BSG characters alone. Roslin, however, stands above the rest. A woman with an impossible burden and—again—nothing but her faith to sustain her, she was alternately villainous and heroic, idealistic and pragmatic. As her cancer worsened, she demonstrated more likelihood to resort to the airlock than to diplomacy until she was even ready to steal elections and commit genocide. By then the show had moved from a black and white morality universe in the miniseries and early episodes to a grey and grey morality ‘verse (this is not coincidentally when it lost a lot of viewers). Her moral journey from Caprica to the new Earth is the most interesting of the entire show—partly because her character was most consistently written and acted.
And finally, a character the majority of you havenÂ’t heard of and will probably never know:
1. Cortana—Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3
In the Halo first-person shooters, Cortana is literally a voice in the main character’s head. But that’s not all she is. An Artificial Intelligence modeled on Master Chief’s mentor, she helps him on his mission, often breaking away to complete tasks of her own. The two are a team, with faith in each other and not much else. At the end of the second game, she stays behind to confront the series' Big Bad—the Gravemind—alone. It was heartbreaking as the reluctant Master Chief swears to come back for her. And she got a tear or two when she admonished him, “Don’t make a girl a promise, if you know you can’t keep it.”
Of course, we knew Master Chief wouldn’t leave her at the mercy of…well, whatever it was the Gravemind was. In the third game he eventually goes back for her, even though she’s damaged and probably approaching rampancy, a condition AIs face where they go pretty much nuts after a certain amount of input. There’s genuine love between the Master Chief and the AI—as much as there can be—and at the very end of the game, as she starts her potentially limitless vigil over his cryosleeping body, she tells him she will miss him. He tells her to wake him when she needs him. I cry.
Why do I like her so much? Cortana is smart and sarcastic, fighting for a worthy cause, and always stands by her man. Just as the game Halo set the bar for first-person shooters that followed in the past decade, she is the benchmark for supporting characters in video games. She was the Action Girl without a body. She was humor and dry wit in what was a pretty horrific end-of-all-life-in-the-galaxy story.
Honorable Mention: Aloysius Pendergast
This FBI special agent was introduced in Lincoln Douglas and Preston ChildÂ’s late 1990s thrillers Relic and Reliquary as a supporting character. He became the protagonist of most of their novels in the past decade. A man of unusual temperament, breeding, and intuition, heÂ’d have definitely made the list if not for his late 1990s origin.
Honorable Mention: Captain Jack Harkness—Doctor Who & Torchwood
Another rogue with a heart of gold, I omitted him from the list because thereÂ’s already too many angst-y, pirate-y jerks up there and Donna Noble really deserved the Doctor Who spot. But, really, who doesnÂ’t love Jack Harkness?
So thatÂ’s the list. What do you got and what should I go back and see/read/play?

I have a suggestion for you. I love the books and the character so much, I had to go back and verify that the first book was published in 2000.
Harry Dresden (The Dresden Files book series by Jim Butcher).
If you haven't heard of or read this series, I highly suggest you give it a try. It's kind of a "Harry Potter for adults" type series that has just gotten better and better with every book (I believe there's 12 or so in the series now).

That's where I took my name from. Glad to see that Stephen Moffet, who wrote that one (as well as 'Blink') is taking over as producer of Dr Who. I heard he is writing six of the episodes for 2010.

Enough of the goofball. I would say that not having a LOST character is a big miss. We will see how the series ends, but the character elements have been astounding. Linus is a good choice, as noted by AmishDude. John Locke would be my choice - again with the faith element that you like Gabe. The other possible choice for me would be Said. Aside from being an ass kicker with a (mostly) clear understanding of what needs to be done, to bring a character that was an Iraqi Army torturer into a series and NOT have him be an overt political statement in either direction is praiseworthy by itself.
From pseudo-fictional (because they are based on real history but are characters who have been created through amalgamation or literary license), I think you need to include Vorenus and Pullo from HBO's Rome. Cheating to have two, I know, but like BSG, the character list from Rome could populate the top 10 by itself.
I probably have others, that's off the top of my head. Great lists, keep them coming!

While I agree with Mitch Rapp, I believe he is ineligible for this list as he made his first appearance in 1999 in "Transfer of Power".
Posted by: conservativeinthecity at December 29, 2009 10:30 AM (i3tSP)
Eh? That description fits MOST of the companions.
I guess if your exposure to the Doctor comes from the reborn series, and not the originals, Donna seems impressive. But compared to Leela and Sarah Jane?
Then toss in the companions who were acknowledged as competent: the Romanas, Nyssa, etc.
Posted by: Rob Crawford at December 29, 2009 10:31 AM (ZJ/un)
Damn, I forgot about Rome. You're right. There were some darn good characters there.
As far as LOST goes, I never really got into it. Watched the first season and had to bail on the second. Tried to start watching again when ABC put them all on the web, but just couldn't make myself be interested.

Geeks wouldn't know good art if it bit them.
Let me put it this way.. Geeks LOVED Star Wars episode 1. Nerds rejected it.
So many were missed in this list that have more substance then these shallow characters.

Jack Bauer. yes, he's obvious, but he's obvious simply because he is such a great character.
Al Swearingen. The greatest character in television history, played by one of the best actors on TV. If he isn't on this list, you obviously didn't see Deadwood.
I think you need to throw an honorable mention Titus Pullo's way as well.

Dexter, but only from the books.
are you kidding? The first book was great, but the rest were just god awful. I quit reading after the third one they got so bad.
The series is great. Season one was absolutely perfect. While not exactly like the book, it was still fantastic. Seasons 2 and 4 were very good as well. Season 3...well we are to never speak of season 3 or jimmy smitts acting ability here.

Why? If you're going to arbitrarily define the span of a decade, why not just redefine it the way you want.
I personally hope the most amazingly badass villain / movie / pop culture phenomena of the decade happens next year so you can suck on that while quoting me some more Humpty Dumpty.
- Mathematically sound, properly understood definition of a decade? Pedantry spread by social misfits.
- Humpty Dumpty quotes written by a commenter replying to a post by Volokh on an Internet site? Speaking truth to power, baby, any way you slice it.

I missed BSG, Halo, and the FF series; but the rest I'm with you; right up until:
Honorable Mention: Captain Jack Harkness—Doctor Who & Torchwood
Seriously? I hated that guy. Especially what he did in Torchwood. He sold children to an alien race "for the good of all'; then put his kid up for the sacrifice on the 2nd go-round? He thought paying the Danes was a good plan the first time through?
He had people running around with no clue what was going on in the Torchwood series more often than not; he didn't trust his team, they didn't trust him; and they screwed up, more often than not from that lack of trust.
Sorry, never really liked him. Donna Noble rocked, Ned the Piemaker, Looney Luna, Shaun, Mal & Firefly, definitely left a positive mark; Dr Cox and Capt. jack were ok likeable characters... but I wasn't fond of Jack Harkness pretty much from the get-go.

House has to be one of the worst shows ever. The formula is so simple and they do it every episode. I did watch the first season, but quit because all of the other seasons were the exact same. Just change a patients name and blamo you have a new episode.
I've never seen monk but a lot of people seem to like it. I have a feeling it isn't really an accurate depitction of someone who has obsessive compulsive OCD. I've been around and am related to some people like that and believe me they are unbearble after 10 minutes.

SILENCE!
Titus Pullo was a good character. Its a shame the series was so expensive they could only afford two seasons.
Eh...at the very end of the second season he walks away with a kid sidekick. Classic show-ending shark jumping, the new kid sidekick (no offense to Scott Baio). Those two seasons would have been severely diminished by the addition of the kid sidekick.

9. Dr. Perry Cox—Scrubs

8. Tidus—Final Fantasy X

Captain Reynolds? Very cool. Extremely cool. Is it any wonder SyFy is about to belly-up? They let good shows like this one die too young.
Laura Roslin? Okay, somebody answer this for me -- Please. She was Secretary of Edumucation or sumpthin, right? An appointed post, right? Not elected, right?
Unless my understanding of The Constitution of The United States of America is way, way off (which is what the ascendency deal on BSG was based on) --
Appointed bureaucrats have as much standing to be CinC as my pet Collie. Maybe less. I kept watching and I kept waiting for someone to 'splain that one to me. I don't recall it, if they did.
As for the rest. I don't get it. But that's okay. Pop Culture changes with every generation. Or every ten years, whichever comes first.
Not knocking your picks, just saying -- Maybe I'm just getting old. Maybe, there's no maybe about it.

Life didn't last long, just the season-and-a-half with the writers' strike, but Detective Charlie Crews, his hot partner, Detective Dani Reese, and the other main characters were all good in my book. I'm glad that NBC at least gave the series a decent end by tying up the kidnapping thread loose end.
Crews was played by Damian Lewis of Band of Brothers, almost the entire cast of which should also make this best character list.
And let's not forget the hot babes of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Sarah Connors; Cameron, the hot Terminator; and the Australian Asian babe, Jesse Flores.
And let's not forget Cromartie/John Henry even though he cheated at Dungeons And Dragons. "Twenty." (He also played the Russian mobster bad guy in Life.)
Not the greatest characters in the universe, but I like The Big Bang Theory and the maid, Berta, from Two And A Half Men.

Tossup between Arwen (Liv Tyler) and Mikaela Banes (Megan Fox)
Both ladies are certainly beautiful but Liv has something more going for her -- She was very feminine in her role and in real-life. A rare trait among today's women. Too many look like models but talk and walk and act like truck drivers.
Liv Tyler is a woman, Megan Fox is a blow-up doll.

As for Lost - you should watch it. There is a slow chunk when the writers/producers were arguing with ABC (second half of second season, if I remember correctly, maybe beginning of third). But this previous season has shown that the entire story has some fantastic elements woven through it. Some seriously good referencing to literature, most specifically the Bible, but others as well.
Now, if this final season is done wrong, it will be a great disappointment. But if it's as good as I think it could be, Lost will be one of the great shows of the past decade. Worth digging into.

There is a brief, rather well-done 4-part webisode that introduces the character here:

I think Gaia's more interesting even though you don't really see her (just hear her narration) and because she's at fault for the Titans' plight. And I get the sense from GoW2 that Gaia's being a bit manipulative. I get the sense that she's basically using Kratos for her own ends (to stop Zeus) but then she's going to get rid of him too. GoW3 is supposed to end the series so I'll see if my intuition was correct.
But onto more video games, Blizzard has some good characters in their games. For the sake of this post, Starcraft and Diablo are out, but Arthas in Warcraft 3 is a tragic character. He starts off just trying to protect his kingdom from a plague that turns people into the undead, but his zeal and passion are his undoing as he eventually becomes corrupted and becomes the main champion of the undead that he was originally fighting. From a Prince to a Death Knight, and then to the terrifying Lich King, Arthas story arc shows how even good people can become corrupt.

Completely agree about Donna Noble. She was really refreshing as someone who was NOT expected to be a love interest for The Doctor (although they clearly had affection for one another, it was more on the brother-sister level).
After what they did to her in the 4th season finale, I gave up on Doctor Who forever. That's how much I liked her.
Posted by: BeckoningChasm at December 29, 2009 01:16 PM (eNxMU)
Totally agree with you on Donna. She was the only one who ever really called him on the carpet. Always loved the running joke about them not being a couple. Can understand the HM for Captain Jack. If not for Mal Reynolds and the other Captain Jack (Sparrow) I would have put him in the Top Ten. Will be interested to see how they both factor in with Ten's swan song Saturday Night.

The Edgeworth game will be good. It has gotten good reviews in Japan. Miles and Gumshoe are fan favourites and while Miles isn't always funny, he is an interesting character and Gumshoe is great for comic relief. The thing with Phoenix's character is that he defines the series in a way that Edgeworth can't. Apollo Justice is a bad game mostly because the two main lawyers Apollo and Klavier are just boring and lack the back and forth Phoenix had with his rivals such as Edgeworth, Franziska, and Godot. Quite a few of the cases in that game are a chore to finish and not as fun overall as the cases in the first three games.
Posted by: rex at December 29, 2009 05:37 PM (h50XM)
my main problem is that though he's been lighting up in the past games, he still has a huge stick up his ass. Hopefully it completely removed in his game.

I think Yuni, arguably the central character and the only one, without whom, the story could not progress, is the most interesting, and quite a strong character to boot.
Willing to sacrifice her life so that civilisation, as they knew it, could live? Pretty good stuff for a teen-aged character. She was a natural leader as well, brave, fearless, strong, accomplished, pious, good, kind-hearted and without a speck of malice toward anyone. Dedicated, modest, aware of her shortcomings and persevered despite them.
The entire episode could have been quite easily accomplished with or without Tidus, IMHO.
At least vid games, you interact, you use strategy, you follow clues and work toward a goal and there is even the minor stuff like hand-eye coordination. TV is just such mindless crap. The only work-out you get is muting commercials, which, not oddly perhaps, I find very regular teevee addicts don't bother to do, soaking up all that noise and putrid toxic waste.

Rygel was coolly cynical but mostly he farted and hid from danger. Ka D'Argo rocked as the captain of Moya and just in general...but when you needed heroing and saving universe you called Crichton.

I would definitely have to disagree with Tidus being on the list. I could barely make it through FFX because of his constant whining... "boo-hoo, I hate my dad and I'm going to whine the whole game, never mind the fact that serious stuff is going on here, I'm going to whine about myself, while one of my fellow party members is on a quest she'll likely have to sacrifice her life to save her world and doesn't whine." That got pretty old pretty fast for me, as a fan of the FF series from the beginning. Stereotypical whiny teenager of the sort that annoyed me even when I was a teenager.
I'd put Agent Casey from Chuck on the list. I guess he's supposed to be a Hollywood's idea of a parody of (evil) right wing patriots, but I like him and find I agree with more of his comments than I should probably admit to. I wonder if Adam Baldwin has had some input on his character. And who can forget one of his comments to the effect of "We can't get any information out of him since the new administration stopped waterboarding." I'm sure it was supposed to be an outrageous comment.

Of course, I'm still burned by the fact that Lincoln and Child are focusing on the "mysterious detective" schtick rather than on the strong, competent females (and males, I guess) that got me into their books in the first place.
Someone mentioned the Dresden Files - good series. Shame the tv series was cancelled. It introduced the books to a whole new audience. Something for which I am grateful.
Some say Shawn from Psych, but really it's the team of Shawn and Gus that stands out. Above them, however, is Carlton Lassiter.
Top new character on the USA network goes to Randy Disher. He's the only one on Monk who seemed normal and real.
Really disagree on Jack Harkness. Created soley as a platform to advance an agenda - also flat as a piece of paper, from what I've seen. Then again, I really hate the new Dr. Who. The original series was better - plus there were male companions, something this new series seems to forget. (I'd have loved to see Rose get replaced by her boyfriend... he was much better.)

The 4 main characters from Burn Notice and NONE of them are on the list? Take your pick, but any of them .. Michael, Fiona, Sam, or Mom Weston.
There is just something wrong with not one of the four being on there.
