Iago, from Othello. The guy is so wonderfully evil, conniving, and treacherous as he manipulates his intellectual inferiors surrounding him. And yet, up till the very end of the play, everybody believes he's the most honest, true hearted guy ever born of woman!

I do admire Iago and I thought of him first, but I have to vote for Cordelia (King Lear) for her sensibility, loyalty and dignity.

Timon of Athens. He illustrates some hope and honesty in the ways of dealing with people, and people as society.

Falstaff -- Because he spends most of his time drinking at the Boar's Head Inn with petty criminals while living on stolen or borrowed money. He appears in three of Shakespeare's plays: "Henry IV" (Pt 1), "Henry IV" (Pt 2), and "The Merry Wives of Windsor".
