All right, I'm sure I've missed a couple, and I know they aren't in 1-10 order...
Vanye from Cherryh's Morgaine Series. Sandor Kreja from Cherryh's Merchanter's Luck Francis Skelbrooke from Teresa Edgerton's Goblin Moon Tryffin from Edgerton's Green Lion trilogy Olivier de Bretagne from Ellis Peter's Cadfael novels (two of them) Domingo Chavez from Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Ilias from Martha Well's The Fall of Ile-Rien Garin from Ansen Dibell's Summerfair Julian Stretton from Sheila Simonson's A Cousinly Connexion Bane from PC Hodgell's Godstalk books (Please note...that last one is not a safe choice. If you bedded down with him I'm certain you'd end up dead.)
In trying to think of literary heros of the past, I believe the language just puts me off. I have trouble of thinking of Fitzwilliam Darcy and a bed at the same time--far too courtly for that. Sorry. (I prefer Campion, by the way to the other sleuths....those big glasses are SOO sexy)
After uch Contemplation...
