Ooooh, I reckon Jemmy Bloocher. He could cook a mean omelette, shoot accurately at 200 metres, and have wanton relations ad infinitum.

Jernau Gurgeh from Iain M. Banks' Player of Games. I'm a dedicated player of all kinds of games, and the Culture sounds like a great place to live. And you know what they say about Culture men...
