Forums of the Megaverse®

I'm working on a concept for a Palladium one-shot or mini campaign where notable individuals are plucked from time and space and thrust together into a mad quest to save the Megaverse. I'm hoping for some help in the form of answers to the following question:

If you could play as an existing notable, awesome, or iconic NPC from any of the books or official Rifter material available for Nightbane, which NPC from which book/page would you choose, and why?

I would never pick from an NPC.

People already have preconceived notions how they should react given any situation. If you don't have a book that explains part of their history but someone else does, you could go off on a race/person/House that you were allied with in the latest Rifter.
