Odysseus

+1 on this...my favorite character from Greek Mythology...no doubt.

For modern times, I'd say:
Dirk Pitt from any book of Clive Cussler = always the adventurer
Jason Bourne from Robert Ludlum and continuation of the series
Nicholas Linnear from Eric Van Lustbader  http://www.ericvanlustbader.com/nicholas-linnear-novels/

I can't just pick one...

From Harry Potter (I grew up on these books, read them many times):

Hermoine Granger (my wife dressed up as her this year for a convention! :) )

Remus Lupin (I dressed up as Remus at the same convention!)

From Discworld:
Death (See the movie "Colour of Magic" if you get a chance!")
